Thank you very much' date=' ur too kind :) I still have about 12 hours left on my backpiece before its done though. Well honestly I'm not ur model sleever. I live my normal life n eat n drink what I want when I want just not 5000 calories of it daily. I have an active life but I don't exercise outside of daily activities (ER nurse, walk dogs, getting off the couch lol etc). I'm surprised how well my skin bounced back actually, I've had stretch marks since elementary just from normal growth spurts so I knew my elasticity was not going to be good, but it was good enough. My belly is kinda pouchy but not as bad as what it seems in the bikini pic (bloated n poor posture from long day at the pool). My boobs n but have deflated n inner thighs are lookin kinda sad. But I love life again. Wish I could give u some advice but I really just went on about my life after surgery and it just kinda happened[/quote']

That is exactly, exactly what I plan on doing! I pray I have the same results. I am two weeks out and I'm eating tiny, tiny portions of what I want (softer) foods but I'm not counting calories, obsessing over everything that goes in my mouth. I know how to eat healthy and I am making better choices but I plan on living my life; just with tiny portions! BTW... I'm an L &D nurse and in Texas too!

      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!!
