Today was day 9 post-op. Dr said to see him in a week and stay on full liquids until then. Office could not schedule me until 2 days before Thanksgiving which will be 13 days out from surgery. I have done well after first rough afternoon and evening at home, had dry heaves and lots of nausea. No pain,just soreness, never took anything for pain after hospital overnight stay. Have started mushy stuff like mashed potatoes and yogurt. Tonight had a couple bites soft rice, broccoli and maybe 3 tblspns soft cooked pork loin w/juice,chopped fine. Am starting to walk for exercise, use my driveway for a track and increasing time daily as strength builds. I feel good. Down 11 lbs since surgery. Hope all you November banders are doing well !!

Day two kicked my a*s, too. I was beat, all I wanted to do was sleep. Day three was better. I expect each day to get progressively better, going forward. :)

Happy belated birthday! What a great gift to yourself. :D

Thank you! Even though I feel like dog meat im looking at like that too. I will have healthier birthdays in the future. I managed to wash the dishes this morn and make some Soup. Now I'm a bit dizzy and a little nauseous.

Do some but don't push too hard Give your body time to heal and recover. You'll get there. Everyone progresses in their own time, this is not a competition. :D

I am seeing my dr for 1st post-op visit tomorrow, kind of excited, it will be 13 days out. Was supposed to see him in 1 wk but this was soonest I could be seen, according to scheduling girl. I think I'm doing well. Did the full liquids for a week and am slowly advancing to regular textures. Think I've lost 11 lbs so I am happy. Used to hate going to my regular dr, always got the lecture, you know the one, about how everything would be SO much better if I lost weight. Let you know how it goes tomorrow.

      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        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!!
