Thanks Applebottom9 for the encouragement . I pulled out my scale and committed to writing down things for one week at suggested by my nutritionist . I'm joining a free Zumba class. I have too do more cardio. I pray daily for God to help me do what I need to do to become healthy . Cause I have Kingdom work that I'm excited about to do. I'm putting a side every weight 30 lbs????????

How is everyone doing now that it's been several years since your surgeries? I'm planning mine for 2/18 in Mexico.

Just got my lap band reversed to the sleeve. I had a lot of problems with the lap band. June 24th was my surgery date. How are you all doing?

You are not consuming that many calories and with the heat and probably minimal Water intake, feel dizzy is pretty normal. Make sure you keep your Water intake up. your body is using most of its energy to try and heal, so make sure you don't over do it. this is still major surgery.

Your just starting out I think that will go away when your able to drink Protein Shakes but drink your Water and walk when it's cool early morning or evenings don't forget your Vitamins I would sometimes forget because I never took vitamins that will keep your energy up keep the good work it's worth it!!!

      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!!
