Yep, I'm starting to get a bit nervous. Tomorrow is the day that I have to take the kids to their grandma, then my husband and I fly out in the evening. I had the hardest time trying to find clothes to wear for after the surgery. I didn't want anything that would rub or be too tight on the incisions. I usually wear denim shorts, so I wound up having to pack church clothes! Oh well, at least I'll look good for souvenir hunting and the flight home. I've been eating lots of yogurt and chicken broth. Seems weird, but oatmeal is actually on my pre-op diet. I never would have thought it, but I actually got full eating chicken broth, broccoli cheese Soup and yogurt. I could only eat half of it. My husband said that we're wasting our money on the surgery if eating liquids makes me full!!

Tomorrow will be a long day for me! I'm very excited and just want it to be Friday morning already. I know I won't be sleeping at all tomorrow night! I have class for 4 hours tomorrow night...so hopefully that will keep my mind occupied! Good luck Pepper!

Just settled into the hotel in San Diego. Leave for the hospital tomorrow morning. So far, no nerves, yeah! But, man am I hungry!! Because we came from Atlanta all I've had to eat today is one yogurt, and lots of Water and apple juice. I'm looking forward to not being hungry for a while :rolleyes:

      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!!
