Post Surgery - a Journey

Jan 03, 2012

Hello everyone!  Sorry I haven't written in weeks since my surgery.  I have  not been in the best of shape.  I had my gastric bypass on 11/30/11.  The surgery was supposed to take 2 1/2 hours and it took 5 1/2.  There was a lot of scar tissue the doctor had to deal with.  Since then I've had difficulty eating.  I don't feel like eating.  In fact I stay nauseated most of the time.  By now I should have started and well on my way with the soft mechanical foods.  Instead, I'm still on liquids/pureed food.  Tomorrow I will be undergoing an EGD to see if the opening is too small.  I hope the doctor finds something so that it can be fixed and I can continue on my journey for a healthier lifestyle.  Right now, I'm not getting enough protein or carbs and am sick most of the time.  I know a few months from now I'll be looking back and laughing about this time, but not laughing right now.
