So looks like so far I will be the first for the month...scary! Guess I will need to post every day after surgery to let you know what each day brings! lol. Are you all as scared as I am? One minute I am excited about it and find myself dreaming of the new me - the next my stomach turns and I am asking myself what the heck am I doing!

What part of AK are in in kitten? Went on cruise last year to Alaska - scenery was mind blowing. Disappointed because I didnt see any whales though!

I'm in anchorage, the biggest city. Don't feel so bad, I've lived here for the majority of my life and never seen a whale. Lots of moose, foxs, rabbits, and bears but never whales. I probably don't make it to the Water enough tho.

I'm not so much scared as I am in disbelief. It's something I've thought about for so long that it doesn't seem true. I find that during the day I'm excited but at night I start to get nervous. This website has helped tremendously tho.

My surgery is on August 1 !! This is finally happening! I started this journey in March and I started my 2 week liquid diet today . I've finished my food funerals so I started it a day early.

I am 55 years old and weighed 262.6 this morning. My hubby helped me take my measurements so I can keep track of my progress . I found out today that I do not like Premier Protein shakes although I did finish the one I opened. I do like Muscle Milk!

Congratulations and best wishes to all of you and I look forward to sharing this experience with you!!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      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!

      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!!
