I'm still in the ER. Feeling better. They're trying to determine where my nausea is coming from. I believe it's my esophagus. I'll keep you guys updated.

Congrats on coming down 2 sizes!!!

Hi ladies! Got my sleeve yesterday! Doing pretty good. Minimal pain. Just tightness. And, some pain if I drink too fast. Trying to remember to sip, sip, sip! Hoping to go home today! :-)

Hope everyone else is doing well!

Got my surgery yesterday morning. Felt horrible for about 2 hours but when I got to my room and was able to walk I felt a lot better. I'm doing so well that if I can keep 4 8oz bottles of Water (sipping every hour of coarse) I can go home!!!! I'm so excited

Hi!! I'm currently in the ER everyone! I haven't been able to keep ANYTHING down these past two days. Not even a sip of hot tea. So' date=' my doc sent me here for IVs and meds. I felt much better after vomiting so many times (sorry...TMI) but I'd be on a road to dehydration if I didn't come. Pray for me!!!

8 days postop -- sleeved 8/12. 30 pounds down since 7/29.[/quote']

Keeping you in prayer! Hope today proves to be better for you.

      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!!
