2 Days Post Op and Semi Regret My Decision



Recommended Posts

I feel you. I had my vsg surgery the day before you (11/13) and I'm missing texture. I'm going crazy at home not doing anything. I've never been the type to netflix binge either. I sat through six episodes of Narcos today before I called it quits. I think I zoned out at episode 3 lol. I get feelings of anxiety and restlessness as I feel stuck in my home. Things will get better for us!

You’ll be just fine! It gets way easier around day 5-7!

Anything makes you feel meh at that stage — get up and move a lot- it helps. Definitely try hot liquids- I couldn’t do cold for a while.

Good luck.

You guys think going back to work 1 week post-op is too soon? I have a desk job so definitely don’t do any strenuous work. I can walk whenever I please, so that’s not a problem.
I didn't have a problem at all but we all heal differently.

I just finished posting on another thread about being discouraged and still having discomfort and pain when drinking liquids. Thinking maybe I made a mistake having this surgery. Then I see this thread and I read all of the comments and I'm sitting here at 2am smiling and thinking ok maybe not. Thanks for letting me know I'm not alone.

You’ll be ok Lu! Give it a couple of weeks and you’ll be saying what a life changing decision it was :)

Try hot liquids! It helped me

Hello everyone. I had my surgery (sleeve) on Wednesday 11/14 and I’m a total wuss when it comes to pain and discomfort and am regretting it so bad right now. It hurts to drink anything. I’m nauseous. I don’t mind the stomach soreness much (just feel like I did a bunch of ab crunches).

I’m supposed to be drinking my Protein Shakes but I’m scared to even try lol sucking on the popsicles give me cramps and I know this will “pass” but I keep thinking, what if it doesn’t. I feel stupid for typing this :(

Stay strong. It sucks early on but I promise you that I will be worth it

I’m doing so much better. However, I had a very bad experience with Constipation this morning to the point I almost passed out due to the unbearable pain. I didn’t drink any Protein today because I’m so scared of another episode. :(

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
