Definitely been a lot of ups and downs over the past week but I am feeling pretty good today. I do have thrush from the oral pain medication so the doctor called in some nystatin for that. Good with fluids today and started eating pureed today. I am holding off to weigh myself until I go back to work on the 1st but I can't wait to see that number go down!

Sorry to hear that @@rosieuk just remember the big picture. Your kids and especially you will be glad you went through this! I feel bad for mine too but I just look forward to the future to where I can chase them around without taking a break! :-)

I have had the same feelings Rosie. Just remember this is the hardest part and soon things will fall into a new healthy normal! It's really helped me having all of you guys to chat with!

Hi all, had surgery 1 pm on 19, spent night in the hospital and then went hom next day. Unfortunately I got the lucky roll of dice for post surgical bleeding and got read matted to hospital the following Thursday to do ct scan, see where the bleeding was coming from ( inconclusive).stayed the night for more observation and then headed home finally noon today.

Moral of this story.. shit happens.. If it's black, tell your doc immediately.. Sorry to be so graphics, but you need to be prepared.

VSGmama, when was your surgery? I'm anxious to start puréed foods. The sweet drinks are killing me!!

@@craigcu, I hope they got you straight now! Feel better soon!!

@@rosieuk, it's hard on all of our households but we will be better for all of them in a few weeks! Hang in there!!

I'm counting the hours down to pureed foods. I still have 10 days left of fluids. Yuck!

Me too. 14 days Fluid, 14 days puree. I'm sure I'll be fed up of puree too this time in 2 weeks!

Kudos for not weighing yourself VSG mama. I'm really bad and do it daily. I'm finally losing again I had gained with all the fluids in the hospital.

I had my sleeve and hiatal hernia repaired on Wednesday morning (May 20). My first night in the hospital was horrible with constant nausea, cramps and dry heaves. Of course I questioned my sanity on why I did this to myself, but I'm much better now that I'm home. I've only been able to drink Water but I've done pretty well with it. The flavored and sweetened drinks made me nauseous, and have only been able to take a couple spoonfuls of broth and Jello. I'm not hungry at all and dread the thought of eating anything at all. I'm sure this will pass soon enough! Hang in everyone. We can do this!
