I have a namesake for everything that is mine so I figured I just soon name my sleeve too....So Keyah Neranti (in good health victory is health) will be born soon!

I'm not sure if I am more excited than nervous. Maybe its a mix of emotions.

I have so much to do before then. My last day of work is today the 1st.

I've done all my preop requirements and such I start my clear liquid diet on Wednesday but I'm electing to start early on Tuesday apparently I have a hemorrhoids problem just discovered so I shall start the clears early in hopes to rush out all the gunk for my own sakes!

I bought gas-x, nonskid socks, tylenol, stocks, puddings, lotions, Soups, Protein mix, Vitamins, and gosh knows what else I will need. My suitcase is packed..according to the doctor I will only be there ONE DAY...WHOOOT that will be amazing! So I am bringing one set of clothes for home and an extra blankets and my pillow!

I've turned in all my paperwork to be off work, I'm paying all the bills by Wednesday, I'm washing down the entire house and santitizing from top to bottom. I'm having the car cleaned. I'm forwarding all my calls to voicemail.

I have reorganized my Keyah Neranti book - is a binder of all my paperwork, visits here and there, food requirements, and everything else surgery related. I am going to add a section to log my food for the first month until my doctors check in just in case something comes up figured I'd have it logged.

My cheering squad (my girlfriend and son) have been super supportive and are ready to be my personal on call nurses for the next four weeks. They have litterally threatened me if I try to do anything but walk! haha!

I have elected not to share any of my success with the remainder of my family as I mentioned it two years ago when I started this journey and they had negative opinions. Though I totally relate and understand their concerns at the end of the day this is for "ME" not them.

I feel like there is still something I'm missing?!

Wheww... there's alot going on talk about a merry go around of feelings - thoughts - emtions - activities!

I also colored my hair blue last week! haha I thought it would wash out a bit before surgery I will have to figure out what to do with it the day of so I don't turn everything at the hospital blue!

They are going to love your blue hair at the hospital! Good luck to you. You have such a positive attitude and I think that will translate to phenomenal success. =)

      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!!
