So far no cramping or pain today. The incisions still hurt a bit of course but my abdominal muscles don't hurt as much as they did after previous surgeries. The only thing that hurts less, lol.

I'M glad I'm on sick leave for some more days though.

Eating liquid doesn't really warrant the label of "eating". It already gets on my nerves big time. Maybe I should start a ticker until March 18th when I'll be allowed to have real food again, lol.

😂😫🤤

Today the staples were removed from the incisions. Wounds are looking fine. About 3 kg less now on the scales now than the day before surgery, btw.

Dammit, I want to eat roasted red beets now. Even these awful McD burgers looked fine today, lol.

How large/where is your incision?

Can you have Soup yet?

After my revision I dropped more than 10lbs so quickly I looked terrible & I began to have loose skin in my face /neck 😖

I have the usual 5 incisions across the upper abdomen. Nothing big and scary.

I eat Soup and thin pudding and yoghurt and the like. Luckily only 3 weeks of liquids this time instead of 4 weeks.

Oh! When you mentioned staples I thought large incision.

Hoping it goes quickly 😌

There was a little bit of pain when these little suckers were removed but nothing serious. Wounds looked good all the time.

On a side note, at least the weather is good for a nice Protein hot cocoa.

Meh, unfortunately inner upper thighs are stubborn as hell.

How long were you on liquids/soup after your revision? I find it way harder to recover this time. Ok ok, I'm almost 4 years older now but anyway. I also have to battle way more cravings.

I admit to having a dark chocolate almond butter cup today that got to liquid in my mouth.

No dumping? I hope I am one of those who don't dump !

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
