I got home just a few hours ago and took a nap. I am feeling OK...just a little uneasy. Can't really complain about much...just an uneasy feeling...don't know what to do with myself. Having a little trouble getting my fluids down....just really don't want anything. I don't want to get dehydrated though either. I'll up date you all more later. I think I'm going to take my uneasy back to bed! :):P

Been thinking about you Carmen! Congrats on getting thru your surgery. Take everything in sloooow mo for the next few days! Sip, rest, walk:) Your uneasiness is common as you have a whole new lifestyle to adapt to and an itty bitty tummy that just needs some TLC. You're going to great! So happy you're on the other side and will look forward to your update...hang in there, hon :)

Glad you are home and ok. I too am not getting all the liquid down that I should. I don't think I am getting dehydrated but well it all just doesn't seem to fit yet. Jello seems to go down pretty easy though.

Hey all! I'm doing well. I just finished up a world wind week. I had a test, quiz, lots of reading and a paper due all while trying to heal and stay awake for it all. I have the next 5+ days of no classwork....I'm not gonna know what to do with myself. I'm so happy and feel so light! I think I might float away.

Anyway, I had my 1 week check up today. I am down almost 15 lbs or 17. You know the whole clothes no clothes thing. I am feeling good. My incisions are good. I moved on to blenderized foods today and am very very happy to have real food even if it is mushy and blended. I hope I can spend some of my free time over the next few days catching up on all you wonderful people :) I hope all is well with everyone. :) Carmen

      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!!
