Yay nomore!!! We will probably be in the van with you if you are getting picked up this morning!!!! Lol we are at the hospital now but came in yesterday for same day surgery.... The surgery has been moved to today because my partner threw away her money order by accident at the airport yesterday... we now have to be driven back to San Diego to go to her bank this morning to get a new money order issued and the old one canceled! They would not do surgery unless she was paid in full first. What a mess -----but we will prob see you soon! Ps florence is ok... I had the Mi hospital for my surgery......and they both have their negatives and positives.....so far hot Water broken but they have since fixed it..... Tv very small and barley hear it with 5 English speaking channels(I'm not a huge tv watcher anyway) broth Jello and liquids have to be ordered and take about 30 min to get.....no where for me to eat anything but there is an order out menu lol...... in Spanish.... The cafeteria is buffet only and my partner has to buy vouchers for me.... I took a look and its not for me as its basically all vegan..... Lol I normally don't complain just sharing all that we have learned so far! There is food spots a block or two and stuff down by the beach which a little scary to walk....but we tried this yesterday....anyway we are managing and we will see you soon!!!! :)

      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!!
