Hey there everyone.

Just thought I would take the time to mention that i too am in the line up for the sleeve...finally got my date.

After dieting and excercising for years..... *keep falling of the wagon after 2 years of faithful slimming* playing with the yo yo in extremes with big loses and even bigger gains its now time to get it right once and for all! the 3rd of Aug means the begining of my new life.

All my life i have been overweight never knowing the secrets of a smaller person. how they shop, how they *enjoy* clothes shopping (always a headache for me) being spontanious, not ever haveing to worry about seat size and is there going to be anyone sitting next to you?, swapping clothes with friends....because you can.... (glad i didnt have any sisters thats for sure!!!) soooo many locked secrets that are like pandoras box for me!! I hope one day i get the chance to unlock that box!

roll on 3rd August :wink0:

Your going to have to change it from "the August girls" to the "the August guys and girls". Unless, Bob is a girl? :scared0:

      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!!
