Omg Omg Omg Omg Omg Omg - I Got A Date!



Recommended Posts

I am still breathless with excitement...and fear. Oct 22 I am getting sleeved! It kinda sucks that it is the day after my birthday, so clearly no food or alcohol based celebrations... but clearly, food and alcohol based celebrations are WHY I am 100lbs overweight, right?

I keep - literally - pinching myself to see if this long wait is almost over. I started the program at Kaiser Permanente in November of 2011. And now I have a date. Wow. I am almost giddy.

We share a birthday!!! I will be sleeved by then, so ni food or alcohol based celebrations for me either. Congrats on getting a date. It's exciting to know that the day after your birthday you are starting a new life. You will in a sense be reborn!

Do you have a World Market near you? They sell them there too. They are pretty good.

If you put a Protein Shake in a blender with lots of ice, can it turn into a coolata or frosty like drink? Anyone try this?

That is my favorite way to drink them.

I am having it at Holy Cross Hosp in Maryland. I have been trying various Protein Shakes and drinks on and off for the last six months, and honestly? I don't care for any of them! That two weeks is gonna be HARD!

Well hold tight because you will be drinking Protein shakes for quite a while after your surgery. Make sure you find some you like.........................

The sugar free Torani flavored syrups are life savers for me! I make a Peanut Butter banana Protein Shake with the PB2 & banana Syrup which I LOVE, yesterday I made a choc English toffee shake which was good & today a raspberry/strawberry shake with a small splash of pineapple & cherry syrups. It's fun experimenting with flavors! And I don't taste the "whey" in them :-)

      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!!
