I'm so pissed cuz all my stupid Drs office ever says is "go to the ER" you shouldn't b throwing up. That's always their f-ing answer to everything "go to the ER." what about some f-ing tips on how to get proper nutrition in n not throw up!! Screw them I'm so frustrated right now. I give up.

Hey GIMB, hope you are feeling better! I have been lurking around reading your journey the last few weeks, and wanted to say hi. Praying for you, and if it helps, I have in the past considered plateaus to be little mercies so that my skin has time to keep up and not be so saggy. But I haven't had surgery yet either- just diets with times of more or less success. Good thoughts your way!

Thank you so much for reading my

Posts and writing me. I appreciate your supportive thoughts. In the past couple dats I've really been over eating n not eating healthy my sleeve even feels pain from food. :0( I'm just discouraged n not losing weight I hope u didn't cause damage n can bounce back from this old cycle of sabotage I used to do . I'll post again when I have more success n not eat till I throw up. :0(

      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!!
