Good morning all,

I can remember the anticipation for my big day, just a month ago on July 8. I can also remember the feelings of regret just a few days after, feeling I had possibly made a big mistake......now one month after, I am starting to see and feel the rewards of possibly one of the greatest steps of my life, and I am glad to be here, where I am.

Reading all your comments has definitely made this process much better. Thank you for taking time to post and ask questions because we have all come across similar challenges in the first 30 days.

Time has passed so quickly ( except for the first week;).

I hope you are all in good health!

I can't believe it's been a month! ! Yes, Happy Monthiversary to everyone :-D I hope everyone is feeling really good. I thought I broke my 3 week stall, but no such luck. I wonder if I'm gonna be a slow loser. I'm starting to wonder what's going on here.

Happy One Month to us all! It's certainly been an interesting month. I think we've all been through so much. From eating issues, liquid diets (stay away broth!), Constipation, diarrhea, weight stalls and all of the crazy emotions! And through it all, as I work myself back into a new "old" skinnier wardrobe, I think to myself "would I do this all over again?" The answer....absolutely!!! Have a super day everyone!!

Mine was thrown off right after surgery so I don't know if that means to expect it now or when I would have normally expected it. But nothing yet.

A question for the ladies: has anyone else skipped their monthly cycle this month?

I have pcos so it's actually gotten semi regular since surgery.

Make an urgent call to your surgeon. You don't want to get dehydrated. I hope it's nothing too serious. Please let us know.

      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!!
