How did you feel abt it being put off?? I can imagine it was a disappointment but at least he is concerned about your health. Will you have to restart the 2 week preop diet?

I was very crushed when he showed me the lab report, and I just couldn't understand how it could prevent me from having surgery if I wasn't even aware of it. He said if it had came back a mild case he might do it but there were too many risks involved. I'm okay today though and thankful that he made that choice. No I won't have to resart the 2 week liquid diet, he told me I could eat just to try to make it as healthy as possible so I don't regain any weight and when I have a date set I can go liquid a few days before.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      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!
