Amanda, you have let the sunshine of truth help you move forward. This is not going to be the easiest thing for you, but you know where you are trying to go. Don't let anything stop you! Not anything! You and I have to remember that if it required me to walk across the Death Valley in barefeet I would do it. This is nowhere close to that. So, when you (and I) are tempted to eat something that we know is not on the prescribed diet, go get on the treadmill, take a walk, call a friend, drink some Water, whatever distraction you can find! I know that you can do it! I am going to need you when mine starts on Monday (9th) to tell me everything that I am telling you now and then some.

I have some meditation tapes that I haven't touched in a year. Maybe it is time for me to pull them out and see if getting started (seriously) with meditation will help me to focus on something other than my stomach as I go through this.

I am rooting for 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!

      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!!
