My mom has been in town for almost a month, to help me out after surgery. My sister also came for the weekend. Don't get me wrong with what I am about to say. I am very happy and grateful that they are both here. Sad they are leaving tonight. Butttttttt since they have never been to LA on top of me getting newly sleeved on 2/8 and adjusting I have been taking them around town for almost a month. Restuarants and food galore. I must say I think I have done pretty well considering all the temptations. But I am writing this as my mom is eating an ice cream cone and my sister is eating Toll House Cookies and I am drinking Water. Can I say I am a little happy that when they leave the constant daily temptations will be limited somewhat. Sorry for venting

Venting is good. Sorry to hear you've been bombarded with temptations.

I think that was very conservative, in your reaction, lol. That was so sweet of them to tempt you like that lol.

Truly what wonderful family you do have for being there.

Congrats on being sleeved, I was sleeved 02/04, right behind you. Hang in there :).

I'm worried about temptations too. It sounds like you are doing great though because you know those are poor eating choices.

You did a great job avoiding temptation! The first few weeks, when my family sat around for dinner, I just had my mushies in my room - I didnt feel confident enough to be near my favorite food that soon past surgery. LOL

Honestly it's been sooo hard. From hamburgers to Thai food, Chinese food, Mexican, Seafood, Korean BBQ, Brazilian Steak House etc... The list goes on!! All month long!! I either come prepared with my food/shakes or eat some Soup or something I can have on the menu. But ordering for myself is ridiculous because it's wasteful since I can only eat a bite or two. I did cave in yesterday and had the Peanut Butter inside of a sugar free Reese cup but that wasn't even a spoonful of peanut butter.

      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!!
