January surgeries?!

[jasmineinmymind 204]

I had surgery yesterday. It’s been really tough. NO Water, no ice chips, nothing in my mouth because I guess the doctor wants to do a test for leakage first. I’m in pain and have nausea too. Praying that today gets better.

Had mine on Monday. Terrible pain. Can get liquids, Vitamins and meds down. Feels like I was kicked in the stomach by a bull. Large hiatal hernia was repaired as well.

I know the feeling mine was Monday and I’m doing my leak test today, had issues with my blood pressure to drink has been hard everything comes back up and remembering to drink slow at first was was tough and still is. So I have gotten my purple nasty liquid and it’s 6:45 am in Mexico I have until 8 to drink it 😩

One week post op. Note: milk of magnesia WORKS! Feeling better than normal today so I’m trying yoga again. I haven’t made it too far in a class since the reflux so I’m looking forward to it!

So much pain guys!! This is tough!

Recovery is definitely tougher than I was expecting but then I did just technically have 3 surgeries in 1.

My pain most of the time is zero

My nausea is zero

But I'm struggling with feeling weak and light headed. I am not in the least bit hungry. I'm eating when I'm supposed to and it doesn't hurt.Sitting out of bed, even for a short while really takes it out of me. Hopefully another week will see a huge improvement.

It will get so much better soon!

It does get so much better. I am a little over 2 weeks out and let me tell you, there is a major difference. I can almost drink normally (no long chugs) and just started on soft foods and can tolerate everything. I was miserable the first week. Hang in there

My new stomach is three days old. I spent one night in the hospital and did great. Walked and walked a lot. Warm Water with lemon has really soothed my tummy. Bariatric nurse said it is really good for our new tummies.

Sitting in my hospital room getting ready for surgery. I am having my surgery in Malaysia as I have been residing in China for the past three years (no insurance) and this was a cost effective way to do it. The surgeon that is doing my surgery comes highly recommended by Australians and the Brits who travel here frequently for health procedures. My surgery was initially scheduled for 6pm has been pushed back to 7pm. Makes me a little nervous but I have a good support system here with me. Looking forward to getting past the next few days!
