Thanks again everyone! The procedure went well and I’m recovering nicely today. Mostly gas pain from being inflated with a little ouchiness around the biggest incision. Just slowly sipping my Water and popsicles so far. Im glad I went through with it. I keep telling myself all the ways this is going to make a difference and that the first month or so is the worst as you’re learning to eat again.

I’m 4 days post op and doing good, I think. I feel like I’ve done 1000 sit ups. I’m getting plenty of fluids compared to what the dietician mentioned. I can stomach sugar free pudding with Protein Powder added. I am ready for the next 3-4 weeks to fly by as I really want a bite of real food. Watching my husband eat is mentally exhausting. Thankfully he tries to eat his meals while I’m not around but that’s not always possible. I keep saying my stomach isn’t hungry but my head is. 🤣

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
