Hi Krissy - wow you are really young to be going through this already, but it was the best thing I ever did! Where are you having your surgery? I had mine at St. Rapael's in New Haven. I have lost almost 90 lbs.!! It has been an amazing journey.

Yeah I know I'm really young. But I've tried to lose weight multiple times and have been overweight my whole life.. The way I see it is, I'm giving myself the best life I can. My parents have high blood pressure and diabetes. So i don't want that stuff. I don't want to go through life feeling like **** about myself.. I think this is going to help me a lot..

I think you are absolutely doing the right thing. My parents were both very morbidly obese and I was overweight for most of my life too. Unfortunately there was not the opportunity for this kind of thing when I was young, so had to wait till I was 54 to have, but I am very happy now. How much weight do you have to lose? They told me I would lose around 70 lbs., but I have lost almost 90 lbs. I am eight months out from my surgery and my weight loss has slowed way down. I think I am about where I am going to be now. I went from a size 20 to a size 10.

      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!!
