Dec 10 Is My Day



Recommended Posts

Seems so far away and so close at the same time. Not looking forward to the holidays because my husbands family is Italian and everything is food oriented. AND I have chose not to tell them about the surgery which is causing a little more anxiety as well.

First off CONGRATS on your date!!! :)

I just got received mine; Nov 13th!

Other than Italian we are in the same situation with our in-laws! food is the center and I have not told them. I do not intend to tell them, but I find myself wondering what kind of freedom I would experience if I were open with everyone. hmm?

I'm African American and our holidays are over loaded with food and family. I've told my family and they are very supportive. We recently had a family cook out and I noticed there were a lot more healthy choices.

Mine is dec 3 so I am only 7 days before you!!! This board I plan on using to help me through the holidays!!! I know that it will be hard but there are so many supportive people on here!! I am not telling all my family either so. I know what you mean since people won't know. Don't stress you will do it!!!!

Ugh! My date is Nov 21, right before thanksgiving. I'm the one in my family that normally cooks the big meal. My family all knows about my surgery so they've just made other plans. I feel really sorry for my fiancé though, none of our family lives in town and he doesn't have time off. I offered to still cook for him but he feels guilty. I think our plan is to kinda avoid our friends at dinner time to avoid the torture for me. He's being very supportive but it is sad thinking about all the great flavors I'm going to miss out on., especially cranberry sauce.

Stay strong everyone and think about the jumpstart you're getting on your New Year's Resoluotion!

My date is December 10th and I am ready-I think. I think I freaked myself out from watching YouTube videos. I think I need to start working out now to try to tone as much as I can.

      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!!
