After 6 long months of weighing in, my surgery is scheduled for May 19th... Anyone else out there going in on May 19th? I got the call today to schedule my remaining blood work. It's getting real! :)

My surgeon's office has a whole store of high Protein low fat low carb foods. We had to buy 14 days worth of food. It's 800 calories a day. It's been ok so far... I think the weekend will be tough because we have some parties to attend. So far during the week at work its been fairly easy to ignore what other people are eating.

I would LOVE some fruit right now!!!!! I had a horrible headache the first 2 days. I feel better now but still hard not having my fruits and veggies and CHEESE! Glad this part is only temporary and I can get back to my preferred Proteins after surgery.

I hear ya! I luckily didn't get a headache but I salivated over ever food I seen. I took a nap when it was too overwhelming! I'm glad I'm over the hump! Have you joined the May/June sleeves group on Facebook?

I haven't. I'm on one for people who go to the same doctor as me but I haven't looked for others yet.

It's nice. My doctors office doesn't have a huge online presence so I was looking for something! If you decide you want to join the lady is lessofjess and you can tell her your sleeve date and email and she will send you an invite to the group! Good luck to 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!

        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!!
