I'm heading to doc today to hopefully get the jp drain out. I felt ok past few days. It hard to get into pureed diet hope had some Soup, refried Beans, Tomato with un flavor Protein tha tastes like whey. I am really hating the taste of whey. But I am eighty pounds down.

Driver, best wishes on getting that drain out. I know I was elated to have my 2 removed. It was the most awkward, and uncomfortable feeling that I have experienced when they pulled those drains. But, I felt so much better once they were out.

Congrats on your success thus far. I really hated all the Protein mixes/types/flavors as well. Hang in there, you're doing great.

Congratulations Driver63---a game of golf is probably a good thing to get outside and breath in some fresh air. Hope things continue to progress for you from here on out.

Driver63 - I'm sorry about your leak. I didn't have any complications, but I replied here because I saw you were from Vero Beach. I'm from Vero too and had a sleeve done here in October. I hope your problems will all be resolved soon.

Went back to doc yesterday he does want to see me until august. I am down 90 lbs. Now back to learning a new way of eating. I am starting to miss just eating that big wendy hamburger with a coke or Mc d's egg MCmffuin. It's totally psycological. please excuse spelling and grammer.

      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!!
