Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Greetings From Hurricane Sandy-Land



Recommended Posts

I'm 16 days post op and SO apply to be back in my home AND have heat! Our grocery store was barren. Shelves completely empty. They have produce and canned stuff but no meats, no frozen things, no dairy. This is all a bummer for a girl on mushies. Thank goodness for healthy babyfoods! the veggie options are great and the portions are perfect for bandsters but i can totally understand why my babies spit out any of the meat options! one day I was looking forward to yogurt, cottage cheese etc. so I made a trip uptown where life is normal in NYC and filled in on supplies. Mmmmnnn tuna, laughhingcow low fat cheese, yogurt smoothies, mashed potato mix with Unjury cheese powder Protein. Down 17 lbs from start of pre op diet. Haven't started exercising yet. In fact I still haven't had my post op visit because NYU apparently is in a bad way and not re opening for weeks!!

      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!!
