Hi again,

I am going to the pre-op class on the 22nd. I will be up on Martha's VIneyard on the 12th. I know, poor me. I live about 15 minutes from FP so that works out well. I am going to start going to the support groups at FP. Our start weights and goals are about the same, too!

I completely forgot about the holidays. We Celebrate everything since my husband is Jewish and I'm Christian. I'll get a pass on the High Holidays, but Thanksgiving with my southern family and Christmas are giving me the willies.

I had mine done the 17th at Valley by Dr gritsus. I'm already down 20 lbs. Good luck to your surgery. The bariatric floor and nurses were amazing

we can meet up at Garden State Plaza Mall. I really don't need to shop I have a lot of clothes from losing with the Lapband. I lost 135 lbs with the Lapband. I have gained 50 lbs back. So I am hoping with the sleeve I can get back into my size 12's.

      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!!
