Yes Hunterdon. I had my girls there too. Dr Ruben. So did you have the sleeve yet ? Where did you have it done? And are you happy with it?

I lived in stewarsville!! Haha so funny.. We lived in Kennedy mills, right off exit 4 but after having kids we needed to be closer to family and moved back to somerset county.

Wow your surgery is so close!! Best of luck to you.. You'll have to keep me posted on eveything. I wasn't asked to loose any weight bc I have a very low 40 bmi.

How are you feeling?

I am feeling good. I am actually going back to work tommrrow after only a little over a week off. I am able to do everything by myself. I really am not that hungry. Whenever I smell food it makes me think about eating but I really am not hungry. I am no longer on any pain medicine I only have a small amount of discomfort. Right after surgery I was having this bubble feeling when I drank anything but I started taking priolosec and it stopped. I am going to start walking today. So far so good.

We lived there only a few years, when we had our first daughter we moved to be closer to family and my husband works in newark so the commute was far.

      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!!
