Omg totally long and REAL emotional since the Pschiatrist used "tough love" approach snd said "this is life-saving surgery!" I wept like a baby but it was a great wake-up call. It wad 4-hours long so yes really long lol! I go back July 18 to ensure I can lose at least 5 lbs. And show I'm committed. I'm so there but I'm glad they want to test me out. Real excited about the process so far! How are you doing?

I'm doing well! I'm on the mushies stage, and I tried making a tuna patty, with chopped onion shredded fat free cheddar, oats and an egg white, blended it up and cooked the "batter" in a pan haha. It looked like a pancake! But tasted like tuna :/ it didn't taste bad though so that's good. Next week I'm on soft foods and I can't wait! A lot of people are noticing how much wait I've lost, its pretty crazy... Good luck with everything! Keep me updated!

I'm with doctor Horgan, scheduled for November 26. I'm on the liquid pre-op phase now. I'm wondering what kind of results you all have had. Any words of wisdom? Thanks!

      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!!
