Tomorrow (april 16th) is the big day



Recommended Posts

Hello all. I know should probably be sleeping right now seeing that I have to be at the hospital at 5:30 am. I am so nervous. This has been an almost two year process and it's finally happening. No more playing off the heavy girl jokes and laughing along no more panting for air because you can't walk up the steps at work I know it will not be easy but I am so ready to begin this amazing journey. Wish me luck everyone..... I just don't know how I'm goin to sleep tonight

No worries, you'll get to take a nap for an hour or so around 5:30 am tomorrow :D

Check back when you're on the other side, K?

Bibi<3 you need to just get up and walk a bit in the house, but rest as much as you can sweetie...make sure you are sipping on something all day, okay!!! take the meds that were given to you...for the first few days and the pain will ease up. Let me know if you need anything...best wishes.

Definitely move around to get the gas out. It should be all gone by day 4 and you will feel much better! I made sure to take my pain meds like clock work and I wasn't shy about asking for more when I ran out because I was still in pain

You are so right I'm on day 4 and I feel so much better I think I'm kinda gettin the hang on it now. I stepped on the scale just to take and peek and noticed I lost 5 pounds since Wednesday. I am so determined more than ever now to keep going with guns blazing. Thank you all for your kind words and great advice ❤️

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
