connie6140 12 Posted August 9, 2016 I still have swelling and sore around my incisions but I'm feeling like I am making progress every day! There is so much in the beginning that you are so focused on, like Protein intake and Fluid intake, medications that you kinda don't have much time to realize that a week has already passed! I had a horrible hiatal hernia that had to be repaired but the excitement of starting this new chapter in my life makes you forget the pain! It's like having a baby! Some people recoop sooner than others so on the first day they tell you to get so much liquid in.....do it! I didn't the first night and was back at the hospital for two bags of Fluid after being stuck 8 times, in places that were horrible just to find a vein. So I can say, the only thing I would do differently is that first night no matter how hard it is or how bad you feel, get your fluids in and you will do fine! When you start feeling unreal pain get up and walk and it helps! Everything your surgical team tells you is the best advice to live by during it all!! Until Saturday I thought I was never going to feel ok but when I was able to start with Protein it jump started my body and I started getting more energy and started feeling better! It's a serious surgery with pain but it's one I would do again knowing what I know now! I am excited for us all because we have been given an amazing tool and we don't ever have to be obese again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
