I'm home now. Bp and Hr were still a bit high but I feel really good except for the insension they used for my stomach. It's a bit sore.

That is probably the same incision they put the stapler in! That was my toughest incision, too.

White coat syndrome??

I'm pretty sure it is. I don't have that around my PCP, he's really relaxed and cool about things so it's easy to relax around him.

Yeah, it's the only one that is a little sore. The others feel fine. It's not hard getting up and down, or walking, but hurts if I move a certain way. I've been sitting here sipping Crystal Light and Water, seems like I'm still so thirsty I want to chug a gallon of water already. But, I'll hold out, sipping my little few ounces here and there.

So glad to hear you are doing well. I think it is down hill from here!

Thanks. I'm surprised at how easy things have gone so far. Some minor pain and discomfort, but all else is well. I was dry heaving in the hospital after they gave me pain shots, after telling them my pain was minute and I didn't need a shot, but oh well.

I took my shower today, got my bandages off. Looks pretty cool, haha. No red marks, one of the cuts is a little swollen, the big one, but no red marks or anything of that nature. Trying to get in a little Protein with my Water now.

Anyone have any idea on how many showers or how long I can sit in one? A cold shower sounds amazing right now.

I showered the day I came home. I wrapped Saran Wrap around my inspections so they didn't get wet. I needed to get the funk off and begin to feel normal. Best of luck to you man!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
