Recommended Posts

This is My first time posting but have been reading for a week. My surgery is Monday. Super excited and stressed. I've been scouring for all the info I can find and have been very impressed with the info I've found here. I started this journey 6 weeks ago and now I'm here. Just days away from surgery! Good luck to all!

I'm having my surgery on Monday too!

Post-op diet day 2. Today was much better than yesterday. Tonight I am not going to bed hungry and I ate/drank less today than yesterday. For a few hours this afternoon my husband noticed I was a little irritable but it passed. It finally hit my husband tonight that we will not be enjoying food together for quite some time. :(

Ive been curious to know if anyone else feels like their spouse doesn't quite grasp what exactly is going to be changing with this surgery. My husband acts like its all "my choice, my life" and its not going to affect him at all. Any postop people have advice on this? Does life really change that much or just the portions?

My surgery is supposed to be in late October. And, to be honest, I haven't really been following my 6mos supervised diet all that well. It's been really hard for me with my crazy work schedule. I know...no excuses. But, any advice to whether or not this is something I can really do?

Not sure when your surgery date is but I took my husband with me to meet the coordinator who went through every detail of the surgery in front of him. From that moment on his view was altered and his support increased tremendously. He's always been great but he has an amazing willpower when it comes to food choices and exercise that I don't possess. This definitely helped him realize I'm battling a disease.

      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!!
