Good for you to be in charge! :) I had 5cc put in at surgery and another 2cc with my first fill. I wish that I didn't feel like eating for two weeks haha I've been hungry since day 3 :)

Creekwood...I didn't even recognize you in your new picture! Keep up the good work!

That stinks that it took them a few pokes. We're you laying down? Do they offer it under fluoro? Glad they got it taken care of :) feeling feel is great' date=' unfortunately my hunger had come back :([/quote']

I was laying down. The doctor mentioned flouro but hadn't used it in years he said. They were excellent and once they got it he drew a pic on my chart so they'll find it now.

I started walking last week, but my knees are killing me (I've never had trouble with my knees before). I decided to join a gym today so I could use the elliptical instead of walking. It kicked my a**!! Anyone else having trouble with exercising again? It's such an important part in weight loss, but it sucks that it can hurt.

Drehn I also had challenges starting to exercise again. I went walking a few times and then started jogging very slowly. I have always had knee problems and they are continuing. I suggest walking on a treadmill or outside. I've heard setting the treadmill to a slight incline will get your heart pumping well. While the elliptical is gentler on your knees it is not an easy exercise :-). Good Luck!

      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!!
