Alrite now coming rite along, u r rite there, once u meet with the surgeon it seems like thats the last straw b4 approval.. Y don't u start with just walking around the block & increase as time goes on.. I say that so that it will become normal routine & wont b or seem so hard once u cross over...

Im trying, last week was my first wk walking. I did 4 days rangin from 30- 50 mins... Felt good afterwards tho.. See my NUT on the 18th..

My psych eval was a hour long. I was really nervous be cause i felt I was on display but I was as honest as I could b & it turn out fine.. (Guess im not as crazy as I thought) lol

So good so far...

I was actually afraid to do my psych eval because of a lady in my pre op class... She said he would not approve her for surgery and that she needed 5 more sessions with him . But when I got there, he asked a bunch of questions concerning my kids, parents & marriage . Then when I would try to answer his questions he would cut me off... Every time I spoke he cut me off. So after a while I said to myself just shut up or I'll have to come back for 5 sessions too... I got approved !!! Then he says I'm here if you need me... My reply was ill see you in the halls.

I thought you were going to say you'd see him in hell LOL

Did he specialize in WLS, obesity, etc? Mine specializes in WLS...She gave me some helpful information.....I would definintely see her if I needed support after surgery.

      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!!
