New Beginnings 78 12 Posted July 22, 2017 No idea that the hernia was this painful. Its one incision towards the top of my stomach really killing me other than that I am fine! Happy healing everyone💖 1 K_aane reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using BariatricPal mobile app The headaches are gone from the first few days of liquid diet but it still pretty much sucks! LOL I'm hungry all the time. Seems like I can't get enough Water to fill me up and quench my thirst. Lots of bathroom breaks! On a positive note, I've been losing almost 2 lbs a day so that's going to get me to my goal. Four days down, nine to go! I made myself a calendar to check off the milestones. That helps when you can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I will try to post a pic of it. It is taking me through August to Labor Day when I go back to regular diet, the Ed Sheeran concert, and a trip to Asheville, NC! Having lots to look forward to makes the liquid diet bearable! 🙂 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
K_aane 356 Posted July 23, 2017 That is a neat calendar! I didn't have to do but 1 day of liquid diet before surgery. Just that 1 say was hard enough! I applaud your determination! !! We are all fighters here. Fighting to regain our healthy and mobility. We will stay strong and endure. You can do it!! Having those events to look forward to really help. I am going to be 58 in November and I want a pair of cowboy boots! I have not worn boots in 15+ years. I am also going to see my sisters for Christmas (they live in Las Vegas) I hope to blow them away when I come off the plane!!!. I will be playing "Mustang sally" as I do my Sandra Bullock walk from miss congeniality!!

Angie M 26 Posted July 23, 2017 Oh my gosh that's hilarious… I can just imagine it! You go girl! I'm 41 and already purchased my ticket to visit my sister and nine nieces and nephews - they are young but will probably flip out when they see me in December. And I'm kind of excited about that! 1 bigperm reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EnuffisEnuff 4 Posted July 24, 2017 Tomorrow two weeks post op sleeve and hiatal hernia repair. My left abdomen is still swollen near one of the seven incisions, but it isn't red or infected. It is still painful to stand or walk for more than, say, 10 minutes. I don't know when I will be able to wear pants or anything around my waist. I don't work, but know I wouldn't be able to go back to work yet. Just starting to feel my strength back.... still taking a nap every afternoon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
