July 26th! Hammond, Indiana I am so ready and can't wait. I used to be scared but not anymore just eager. I woke this morning at about 3:30 and couldn't stop thinking about it. I went today and bought my hospital pj's and slippers, sugar free Jello, lots of crystal light, and some Isopure. The last few nights I have enjoyed some of my favorite meals but I can't wait to start my Clear Liquids on Friday because then I know that in two weeks my new life will begin.

Had my surgery approximately 9am. I'm up, sitting on a chair for the second time today. Did a little walk. I feel pretty good considering.. A little stomach pain, but they say it's expecting. And I'm very tired! Thought I'd update you guys

I am scheduled for July 23rd. Started pre op diet yesterday. Was told Protein Shakes for 13 days, 1 day clear, but could replace one of the shakes with chicken/lean meat. But nothing with carbs.

I am up getting ready to go to the hospital. My diabetes is my major worry all day yesterday praying not to get low blood sugar and could not take my insulin so had to be concerned with high blood sugar. As it turned out I stayed normal to little higher but not dangerous levels. Diabetics heal slower so I packed for a few days in case. Wish me luck I am at 9:00 AM

      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!!
