Hey Amy I'm thinking of going alone. What did you do with important stuff like your passport, phone, money, kindle/iPad/laptop whatever while you we're in surgery? Anybody else? Thanks a bunch!

Amy!! (((hugs)))

I've been down and out with a nasty virus and a move but was thinking of you on Friday. I'm so, so glad that your travel went smoothly and, more importantly, your surgery went well! I hope your drain has been removed by now and you're feeling more comfortable.

In any case, just wanted to let you know you were on my mind.

Aw. Thanks. <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

Is it silly that I feel like a stronger person after all this!?

But I don't feel different. Lol. Except the holes on my belly and the tiny sips. And super schnoz and I'm tolerating all things well. Gatorade cold' date=' Jello was Blech, Water, although it tastes like bpa. Hahaha. Warm, cold. Maybe this changes when my sleeves swelling goes down?

The first thing I said was "was I really sleeved?" But I think it was drugs. I was up and moving all around and then it hit me. Bam! Aw crud. I should stand over the sink for a moment. And then maybe sleep. Maybe for 5 days. <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' /> no such luck.

Anyway, I'm at the mariott and a friend I met here and a vst er are supposed to go to Walmart but I don't know what floor she's on. She's a lurker. If you're lurking, please pm me. I'm all alone. Lol[/quote']

Amy you are right on with the feelings of strength you have. You will retain that emotional high for weeks to come! You are a stronger person than youve ever been! This was a huge step, you persevered and you did it for you! We are amazing people who took action to make ourselves even better.. We decided to not sit back and let life pass us by! Yay us! I still cannot wipe the cat-**** grin off my face! I cannot wait to experience all that's ahead! Enjoy the rest of your trip but dont push too hard... You also deserve some coddling and TLC!

I went alone, so I was concerned about those things, too. There is a small safe in your hospital room for wallet, passport, etc.. I had a combination lock on my suitcase, so that's where I kept my tablet.

Rosie told me that there had been an incident of theft at the hospital recently, so it is wise to take precautions. She suggested securing valuables whenever I was going to be out of my room.

Oh Marly, remember how bad you wanted this and how you pictured yourself a year from now. It will all be over soon. I will praying for you and I am sure others will be too. So you not alone. You got this!!! And your not being a baby.

      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!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
