Hi everyone m my name is Christi and tomorrow I will have finally made it thru my first week. My surgery was on Monday January 19, 2015. This process took me right at a year to get here, I kept wondering why things kept happening, to change everything. Now I've seen what and why God kept putting things in my way , until HE had it all exactly the right way for me and for things to work out the way it did. This 1 st week has been challenging to say the last, staying on the clear liquid diet , yet smelling the wonderful food being cooked food everyone else my tummy rumbles just crying out for something to eat. I've had good days and bad ones, besides all the pains and cramps of getting rid of all the gas, I've been able to get out of the house to walk, maybe to Walmart , I just hold onto cart for dear life remembering why I did this again. Then the next day I can barely move. I have great support from family and husband who can't wait for the new me too get here. But I do have to remind him, honey I'm still healing it's only been a few days ago, remember. . Today is one of my wore out days, totally drained. Yesterday we went to get me more of this "yummy" Isopure liquid to drink and I got in and out of the car several times, did a few stairs and w with that walking several stores. I was exausted by time we got home. I pray week 2 is a lot easier, as I think ahead of how my life will be changing, and what my food intake needs to be, counting calories, or carbs, or even fat content , isn't that part of what got me this way? So I hope to pick up some pointers on cooking great healthy food, new exercise and mostly how to change my thought process on how I look at myself, from the inside out. Thank you all for letting me ramble on, looking forward to meeting lots of new people and hopefully making new friends along the way.

Congratulations @Christi6972. My surgery was on January 20, 2015 so I'm just a day behind you big sister. Lol. I should try the Isopure I have been taking my Premier Protein shakes. What flavors are the best in your opinion? I will pray for us both that week 2 is easier.

Congratulations on your decision. I promise it will get better as time goes on. This is especially true when u see the numbers going down on the scale and the non scale victories. Sleeved 11/11and down 40 pounds and 3 sizes.

      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!!
