I am 6 day post, I am kinda scared because I feel like a million dollars. I have felt this way from day one. Am I in for a surprise? I have lost 19 lbs already and I am having no problems with anything. Been to the mall walking, even had my grandkids over night. I'm waiting for something to go wrong.

My sugery was the 10th. I am ready to go back to work, I had was so worried about having surgery done I did not sleep for 2 days. Now I just laugh and think well that was easy. The hard part will be to keep the eating habits for life. Hard to when your husband has hollow legs and can eat anything. Best of luck to you keep me up dated you your recovary.[emoji2]

Likewise. I had my surgery on the 10th also and I feel I’m doing well. Have lost 17lbs, and I get all my liquids in. I stopped pain med on Wed evening and haven’t had any issues. Have little pains here and there but I’ve been going out and about since Thu. And like you I’m thinking, what’s going to go wrong. Good luck with it all!!

Well, my experience has been a little different. I'm 6 days post today. I had a complication in surgery which I think has made my soreness worse. Otherwise, I never had nausea or vomiting and was able to get fluids and Proteins in off the bat. Stopped pain meds 2 days post, but that twinge on the left it still ouchie. I've been pretty tired, but plan to go out to walk around the dreaded Walmart today because I need OUT!!! This morning I woke up with a bit of nausea and just kind of a crappy feeling. Hoping it passes. Have a feeling like something is sitting in the bottom of my esophagus. Overall I'm pretty pleased with my progress but I am glad I took an extra week off work. I think I need that adjustment time.

I'm sure you will feel better soon, your body just went through a big change. I was told the more you move around the better recovary will be. The minute I got to my room after the recovary room I got up to go pee and had to get my own cloths on and walked aroud the floor of the hospital. Every time I woke up I walked a lap and added a lap each time. Went to Walmart on my way home. I have had the last 4 years of my life taken from me. I had a stroke. Meningitis, chronic lyme, Gilligan barrett syndrome. I was tired of not bei.g healthy i have 2 grandkids now and nothing is going to stop me from living life to the fullest. Kerp your head up and stay positive I'm sure i am going to have bumps in the road. But not like the past. Best of luck in you recovary. Keep my updated

Thanks! I was also the model patient, lapping every hour or more, doing all the stuff. Still am. Just having less of a great day today. Due to rain, my walking has been limited to the house, but looking forward to getting out today!

      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!!
