So excited!!! My Pre-Op appointment is this morning. My surgery is scheduled for the 26th at Kaiser in Fremont and I can hardly wait! I'm looking forward to starting my "second chance" @ life. So very blessed to have this opportunity. ;)

Thank you! Surgery went great. Now I just need to get all of the gases out of my system and I will be doing great. Had minimal pain after surgery, but horrible nausea. I couldn't get up without vomiting. I would walk the hallways of the hospital at night have to make out stops at every garbage can along with way. I think this nausea was partially from the Morohine and partial from the gases. I only took a dose or two of Morohine as then figured that I would rather deal with pain than vomiting... Needless to say it didn't make a huge difference. Vomiting continued well until I was home and resting.

      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!!
