Hang in there Caliblonde, sending positive thoughts your way. I start my liquid diet tomorrow. You have already lost 32 lbs pre op? That is awesome! Thanks Lynda for the clarification. I am going to have to whip me up a batch of that broth.< /p>

Thanks Holly! Good luck with your liquid diet, don't forget to get in your fluids in addition to your "meals". That's been a struggle for me and I think I'm slightly dehydrated because I keep forgetting to drink.

I got my sleeve yesterday with Dr. Aceves in Mexicali. Everything has gone well and it isn't neatly as painful as I thought it would be. I got my iv out today. Drain will come out tomorrow and I'll be flying home on Friday.

Alright guys, I'm heading in tomorrow to do mine. I'm starting out at a rather hefty 60+ BMI, so I've got a long way to go.

Hey May vsgers! Had my surgery yesterday and just got back from the hospital. Everything went well. I'm just fighting nausea occasionaly and am having to force myself to get the Isopure down. Overall I think that I am doing well. Hope all is alright with those of you who had surgeries in the last few days.

I'm home from my may 17 surgery. So far so good! I've posted a couple of topics about my recovery in the "Tell Your Story" section.

Healing thoughts to fellow May sleevers who are already on the losers bench and best wishes for speedy recoveries to those who have not yet had their surgeries!!

      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!!
