awesome, I have a date, and Jane had it all along just didn't know it, was approved in September, Dr said you're approved as of Jan 15th..so I thought this was just an approval date not the surgery date, anyway, super excited, have last appointment and pre op registration on the 5th, I was supposed to start 2 week liquid diet on Jan 1st but I started early :) surprisingly today hasn't been hard. So glad to hear you're finished up..almost! Gosh you could be done in January probably right?

That would be amazing but I am thinking it may be February before I have it done. Congrats to you though!! You are so close! I am not looking forward to the liquid diet lol

I wasnt either but for some reason today wasn't bad. I ate over the weekend when i was trying to start liquid early but I i watched myself. Anyway I had some anxiety I guess that I would go nuts on it lol..but hopefully it's gonna be ok! I had beef broth this evening. It seemed like it would be so good but it wasn't..tasted kinda fake. And I'm not picky at all. I find it really hard to sleep when I'm not eating. Hoping I will do ok with that too.well keep in touch if you want! I think I'm starting to get a headache, ,which is easy for me to do so I think in gonna have a carb control shake, well have a good night sorry for rambling lol

      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!!
