I was just looking at the pics of the storm and thase poor folks stuck on the road. I don't miss the snow at all if I would have to be out in it. Not much snow here in Tampa bay though :) Boy is your doctor liberal in the post op foods mine has already advised me that 1-2 weeks of clear then we'll see on mushies, wait some more and then Real food. The post op phase is what other threads have called Bander Hell I hope that I can just tip the hat to that devil and move on rather quickly. But I guess it all depends on how quickly I heal and how I tolerate the new food limits brought on by the band.

Did your doctor pre fill your band? If not, when did he/she say you could expect your first fill?

You seem to have a great attitude about your surgery and by what you type you seem to have a good outlook on the eventual outcome. That, right there, is more than 1/2 the battle. Keep up the good work, I am sure you will do great.

When I was looking at flights to Tampa..it did say Tampa Bay! lol

I got my staples taken out on monday...I go back in 6 weeks to get a fill..then I guess I get one every 6 weeks supposedly after that... depending on how well or not well you are doing I guess... I've heard that my dr is very conservative on the fills so we'll see what really happens.

Aww...thanks for the kind words hon! I'm really trying to make this year about myself.. I've had a hard...really hard..last 5 years so I really want my wants and goals to come to fruition...I'm trying to have a really positive outlook. I think it can only help! :)

      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!!
