Surgery June 10th

I am 5 feet 8 inches tall

HW 289

SW 275

CW 240

I was in sized 24 and now in a size 18 comfortably. I have one size 16 shorts that I can button and zip but I will not wear them for a few weeks. I like looser clothes. I am so happy I did this. I cant tolerate any hard vegetables yet. Yogurt is a favorite thing for me and I am eating almonds. I drink Protein Shakes and eat Protein Bars with low sugar and high Protein. I cant work out much but I still do it when I can. My fat is changing. I jiggle when I walk or move.

I tried going to site and it will not come up.

Apparently, I am an idiot at times. LOL! Since this is a secret group, you will not be able to SEE the group until you have joined. So, in the end, I will need you to PM me your e-mail address that you have registered on Facebook to add you. After you have joined, the link will work for you.

Sorry about that. I got too excited, and am still learning this group admin stuff.

Saw my surgeon yesterday. Suggested 1 oz Pickle Juice twice a day. No more frothing or heart burn and zero nausea! She also scheduled upper GI to check for strictures.

I bought Syntrax Nectar today lemon tea flavor. Can be mixed directly in 2 to 4 oz of Water and taken as a shot. I was able to tolerate that amazingly well. Will definately buy the lemonade flavor next. Being able to get Protein in basically a "shooter" is a godsend for me. I get super full on 2 oz of anything including liquid.

Surgeon was concerned because I am in starvation mode and dehydrated again. Just so nauseated and full all the time. With the addition of pickle juice or even sucking on a pickle has made all the difference in the world. I didn't even bother with any nausea meds or reglan today.

Today is my birthday and I weighed in at 197. So I made my goal. Very happy about that. I bought size 16 shorts! Was in a 22 before. Amazing! Best gift to myself ever!

Happy belated birthday and I am so proud of you. Way to go!

      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!!
