Ten weeks post op

Here I am 10 weeks 3 days post op and doing well.
The nausea, bloating & vomiting is minimal & intermittent - and in fairness I believe is more due to recent stress factors. I have some pain when initially digesting food but again this is intermittent & manageable.
Incision is well healed & tidy and I can even wear a bra now!
I'm well enough to be able to participate in next week's British Society of Gastroenterologists conference as a representative of GastroParesis UK.

8 weeks post op.....

8 weeks post op and doing well. Food intake is still not quite up to pre op balanced intake but I am almost 100% sure that is due to stress factors rather than gastroparesis.
Food intake is sufficient to keep me going. Bloating under control, vomiting minimal.
Incision fully healed and soreness around pacer site is now limited - pressure on site/pacer when wearing a bra is still causing some discomfort, but improving day by day.
All in all doing really well!
