Just checking in!

I had my follow up today regarding my allergy to dermabond. My rash is better but not completely gone. I need to watch it and if its not gone in a week I need to see a specialist.

Down 24 pounds total! My blood pressure is dropping lower and lower with my medication (but still in normal ranges). I can't wait to be off of my bp meds completely!!

On a downside, I've started having dizzy spells. So bad it felt like I was drunk. My doc said its probably because I'm not "resting" enough lol. Who says that?! I've been working out daily and hanging out with friends. I'm on bed rest now! Boo!! It's funny because not even two weeks ago I would lay around ALL DAY! And now I can't! I love it!

I hope everyone keeps improving, feeling better, and dropping those pounds and inches!!

... I just discovered wonton Soup broth. Well not really just discovered but my husband wanted Chinese on way home from hospital (so kind of him to pick the one thing I'm dying for). It is probably the most amazing thing i can put in my mouth right now. Just had to share. Haha literally on cloud 9 sipping this right now!

So sorry. Hope all is well.

Had my surgery on 3/11/13 and was home on Wednesday due to a small complication. The liquid thing in driving me crazy. Not having a problem, just tired on the flavors.

For those that are having problems with Protein Shakes, have you tried the shakes called nectar. They are awesome and come in so many different flavors. I know you can get them from the Vitamin Store and mybariatricpantry.com

All and all the trouble I am having now is still so worth it!

I am craving a steak though.

I just came home today!! I have a question bc my book they have me is so confusing! Lol in order to get all ur fluids in' date=' are you all just constantly sipping? I am so scared to drink to much because I HATE throwing up and I am trying to avoid that! I honestly can't tell anymore with the pain from the incisions, gas, or if my stomach is feeling full. Lol so back tony question. Are you pretty much sipping on and off every few minutes to get the right amount of fluids or am I doing something wrong??[/quote']

My dr says 3oz an hr cant wait to become post op

Yesterday I had my drain removed. So happy to be rid of that! Then I was sitting watching a little tv this afternoon when it occurred to me that I had no pain or grumbling in my gut! What a great feeling! I felt normal for a bit then back to being miss gassy ... Have I mentioned I love the person that invented Popsicles! feeling better everyday ... done 18lbs :D

Also anyone else tried Glucerna shakes? Come in great little 8 oz bottles in chocolate and vanilla. I was given Glucerna at the hospital so I searched when I got home and found them it on Amazon. Very tasty and convenient!

      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!!
