I started eating real food at 7 days post op. I called my surgeons office for another reason and they said "are you hungry yet?". I said yes and they said to start eating and I did. I think it really helped me to eat. I didn't get so obsessed about food, because I was eating.

I was full liquids for the first week, mushy foods for the second week and was back to mostly solids by the end of the third week. I didn't eat any red meat or bread but my surgery date was 12/28 and for the past week I've been able to eat anything and pretty much as much as I want. Any time I eat less its because of a decision to do so, not because of any restriction! Very frustrating.

        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!!
