Newbie Here 5/29/2020 was my Surgery



Recommended Posts

I had surgery may 29th and I have had lots of ups and some downs. My Highest weight: 351lbs My current weight is 302lbs So I'm down 48lbs in my first month since surgery and I'm glad I've been doing so well. I found an unflavored Protein Powder that makes it easier for me to hit my requirements. I hate the Vitamins cuz it's like chewing on chalk, but my doc said I can get the chewy ones now. I'm in Stage 3 of my diet for the soft solids and I absolutely detest fish. My dietitian recommended rotisserie chicken cuz it goes down easy. Any suggestions on meals to try in this stage as I work towards stage 4? I have had some sharp pains in my side and the doctor doesn't seem concerned and that's when he explained that my stomach is now in my chest which I didn't realize lol. You learn something new every day!

      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!!
