Whos in September? We need some September buddies!



Recommended Posts

for great recipe ideas I look at pinterest. Love to get inspiration there. Try adding Beans in salads and almost anything you make otherwise. Lentils, kidney, chick peas. Hummus is a great snack. I also bought a bullet to make shakes and throw in ground flaxseed, Protein powder and you can get Peanut Butter powder to throw in too.

I've been pretty hungry the last couple of days. Today I've been feeling like its hard to focus on things and I hope to be starting full liquids soon. I still have pain In the right side of my stomach and I don't know why. I have a doctors apt on the 10th. I have problems drinking Water or anything I don't know why but it's very unappealing to me. I hope to recover fully and can't wait to start my new life. I've lost 35 pounds since the beginning of my liquid diet!

I was sleeved Sept 29th and went home 3 hrs after surgery. I'm healing well and the only pain I get is on my left side. Its bearable and annoying. I have lost 28lbs sine the beginning of preop. The past few days I have felt hungry, but I just try to think of the good things to come. I have until 10-20 before I can move on to pureed foods. ????

@@Jbramwell, I went through True Results with Dr. Nicholson at Baylor Surgicare. I have no pain except that pull they say we experience every now and again. I must have a high pain tolerance because as soon as I woke up they had me walking. I would say my surgery pain subsided by Wednesday of that week. I returned to work a week later. I have a desk job and my coworker was scheduled to have her surgery the day I got back. It's been really good. Today I went to the movies, and I was able to sit comfortably in the chair without raising an arm rest. It felt really really good.

      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!!
