surgery went well trying to get Water in. going to rest. musicteacher hope all is well.

All is well, thank you joann852. I was told not to take my ADHD medicine today and made a fool of myself. When in the recovery room I asked the nurse what the second song was the Drs were listening to while my surgery was going on. Scared her for a minute. With my meds, I wouldn't have done that. Of course, I was out and couldn't hear the music.

Other than being a brat, I'm doing well. I took a walk as soon as I got back to my room and got home about an hour ago.

Tomorrow morning at 7:30am im getting banded, I lost 30lbs during the pre-op!! Yea me!

Edit:

One clarification: I started a version of the pre-op shortly after my appointment with my nutritionist, so in about 1.5 months.

Also I didn't cheat once not ever, it wasn't always easy to walk away but I always did.

August 27 here -- I guess I'm doing okay. I feel like I have so many things that I have to take care of (kids starting school next week, starting a new job on Tuesday) but in reality the only thing I have to take care of today is myself.

And maybe the living room, 'cause DAMN! :P

Officially 1 week post op and I'm glad it's here! A little rough the first week but it gets better by the day, believe that. Day 1, I would have never believed I would feel this good by day 7! Looking forward to 2 weeks post-op! Getting hungrier each day, my stomach actually growels now but it's quickly shut up with half a Protein Shake. By the half, I'm not hungry anymore. My first fill is September 25th!! I'm not regretting my choice, now to feel good enough to run again, tomorrow will be the test!

      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!!
