I was doing pretty good until Thursday. I got out of the house for the first time and haven't felt well ever since. Light-headed, dizzy, and nauseated. Feeling better today though.

Glad to hear you are better. Sounds like you'd better take it easy. My surgery is on the 30th. I'm doing the liquid diet now.

I didn't have any issues. Don't try to eat anything before you are supposed to. Even at 3 months out I have to be careful. I usually stick to soft foods because anything dense makes me pretty uncomfortable. I have a Protein Shake every morning for Breakfast because I have a lot of restriction in the mornings and food is impossible lol. The rest of the day I eat cheese, greek yogurt, Beans and lunchmeat. Those are my go-to foods. Good luck!!!

I was sleeves July 12, 2012 by Dr. Timothy Duckett, was sent home today with a picc line and nurse visits every night. I'm unable to keep down fluids and praying a week of steroids via IV will fix the problem. I'm very scared and hoping this is not something more serious than swelling. I should mention I was converted from lapband to sleeve.

Good luck in your surgery I'll be praying for you! I'm sure you'll come out like a champ. Thanks for your prayers, I have faith in God that the steroids will work and no revision surgery will be needed :)

      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!!
