Jennifer Ostermeier 45 Posted February 27, 2016 Yay! I'm doing well. Home now. Surgery was on Monday. Came home Thursday. I need to stay on top of the pain meds AND try to kick this cold. Been doing liquids mostly, though I've got a freezer stocked with purees. NEXT WEEK!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chair1311 58 Posted February 27, 2016 It's been four days since my surgery. I have been home since Thursday. Today was the only day I woke up in a little bit of pain but not much. It has been harder than I thought it would be to take in the required liquids and such, but I'm doing it. Kinda get this reflux thing when my new stomach is empty and its hungry. Lol It like the plant from Little Shop of Horrors; "Feed me Seymour"! I hope everyone is doing well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
songsmith 334 Posted February 27, 2016 Did your doctor prescribe you any sort of reflux medicine? If not, you might want to call them. I like it! Your sleeve is officially the Audrey 2! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's not terribly bad. If it persists I will ask him at my follow up appointment next week. It really only happens when "Audrey" is hungry lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amelie2016 116 Posted February 28, 2016 How are February 1st folks doing? I can't believe it is now Feb 28th. =) Somehow the past week my little aches and pains have been so minimal it's been wonderful! I had a concern last week as well, we did another leak test in my Dr.s office and i was fine. Might have been a pulled muscle. All the odd things I've felt have been interesting. I developed a canker sore on the inside of my jaw, my dentist seems to think it may have been an abrasion from inutbation, that I just didn't notice until now. I was not exactly regular with the dental hygiene most nights as I wasn't eating and I only swished. Bad, Bad, me. Anyone else get a sore from intubation? So that's about it. I graduated to soft foods and find those new sensations interesting. I too had "hunger" sensations about a week after surgery, mostly when I drank Water. How's it going? How are you eating? What sensations are you experiencing? (Sorry I'm a long talker) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think my anesthesiologist scraped it by mistake - it hurt more than anything, even the incisions. I've progressed to soft foods so I'm mainly eating Soups, Greek yogurt, eggs, fish, Popsicles and Protein Shakes. I'm allowed other things but I like to keep it simple. What about you? Come back to our feb 1 thread! We miss you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
