@@megan143 - I really don't have anyone around here post op. I would love to find a walking/workout buddy. Do you live around here? What do you do for your exercising. I really haven't gotten into any routine and would dearly love to start

Hey Laurie! I'm about 5 weeks post op and I just moved to Morristown so my exercise right now has been moving and unpacking. Lol. I'm going to join a retro fitness in parsippany, but I have a bunch of dvd's I wanted to do also if you're interested? I have the t25 program (which is intense but can be modified) and I think insanity (which I'm def not able to do anytime soon haha). I also have Zumba and dance videos which I figured would be a fun way to start. Thoughts?

Well congrats on your 5 weeks! I was still not able to do any exercising at that time. I had some heart issues after my surgery and the Drs didn't give me clearance for anything more than walking until about week 8. By that time I was back at work and exercise was far from my mind! No excuses I know. I've actually got 2 weeks left of an accounting class before I can start something new. Maybe we can get together for something after that. Even if it's meeting in the middle somewhere for a walk.

      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!!
