Congrats and welcome to the Goalies' Bench! Hope you have been doing well lately. I haven't seen your posts in awhile. We have a new forum for vets and I post there mostly now. I do answer posts in other forums, but it's easier to find others who are further out from surgery in the Vets Forum.

You say you are eating but can't do the shakes. Are you getting all your Protein in? It could be a combo of protein and liquid definciency. I get the same way if I don't get enough of these in especially the liquids. But I have also noticed it when I don't have enough protein in. You might google the highest protein rich foods and start on those. Another really good fruit for dehydration would be watermelon...........eat the heck out of that stuff! Good luck to you!!

Wow, what an amazing story. I started reading this on my break this morning and could not stop reading every chance I got. I love your story, your support to and from others, and your outcome. What an emotional roller coaster. However I can't help but wonder if you think this experience has brought you closer to God.

My surgery is 8/5 and I'm terrified. However I have to outweigh the risk of having a heart attack any day now or get the surgery, complications and all and live longer with my kids. I pray my outcome is great. I have a teenie and tot. The best of both worlds. They drive me crazy but I would not trade them for the world.

With that being said I wish you the best of luck on your new journey of motherhood. Another priceless emotional roller coaster.

      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!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
