Insurance approved! 10/19 is surg date/would love a buddy!



Recommended Posts

This all happened so quickly! I had my first appt on 8/28, and now surg on 10/19! I am feeling every emotion possible. This is a big step for me, and something I have dreamed about for 20 years!! (maybe lots more). I was not required by insurance to take more than one nutrition class, so I feel like I'm missing out on some good info. I would love a buddy!

Hi all! I 2as sleeved on 10/27 and right now I'm in phase 2, which is all liquids. I start phase 3 on sunday. That is soft, mushy Proteins. Can't wait to get to phase 3, it'll be real food. Right now I'm living on Water, hot tea, Protein Shakes, and high Protein hot cocoa. I want to chew something! How is everyone doing on their diets??

I had my surgery on 10/19 as well! I just started phase 3. I would love to connect with people that had surgery on the same date, I haven't even considered that til I read your post. I would like to know how you are and where you are in your process (as well as the other's who have posted stating they are interested in a buddy and had surgery around the same time we did). I've lost 25 lbs so far but I was required to do the 2 week pre-surgery liquid diet. I look forward to hearing from you all!

      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!!
