She had brain surgery in April for swelling around the brain. No cure-made her go deaf. Biopsy of a tumor on her pancreas in April. Heart surgery 6 weeks ago. Monday is surgery for a large anuresm between her heart and stomach. I've cancelled my sleeve surgery twice to be with her. I have faith that she will be ok. I need to get my sleeve to help me be healthier so I can take care of her.

I remember you having to postpone your surgery. I am so sorry your mom is having these issues. You are wonderful for being there with her and helping her through all of this. My thoughts are with both of you. Please keep us posted on how she is doing.

Could you post the time you are in the chatroom including CST or PST for example? I am in Central time and have no clue where anyone else is.

thanks

Tiffy is in Florida so whatever time zone that is. I am on the west coast so I am on Pacific time. I usually open the chat window and leave it open while I do other things. That way, there is a door bell that rings and when someone enters the chat room, I can hear it and know that somebody wants to chat.

I suggested we set up a regular chat night and time and try to work it out during a time that is convenient for a lot of people.

Leaving the chat window open also works fine for me, cause I am usually on my lap top in the evenings, so even if I am on another site, I can hear the doorbell ring and go back to the chat room.

I'm sorry I disappeared. A friend of mine is going through a really bad break up with her boyfriend who just returned from a deployment, and she needed to talk.

I'm in the NW panhandle of Florida so I'm on CST. I usually pop in between 9-10pm CST, and leave the chat window open. I rarely go into the chat during the day because I never find anyone in there.

I think CST is only 1 hour ahead of PST Daisy - I'm hoping to be able to get into chat one of these nights if things ever calm down (and I can get through all of the posts that accumulated while I was on vacation)

Yes I found out last night that tiffy is 2 hours ahead of me. I thought it was 3.

A new gal who is in AZ has been coming in. I talked to her on the phone today too, and she is very nice. She is only 3 weeks out of surgery.

Chat is starting to pick up! I am really happy!

      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!!
