One is 3 days before surgery attached with 2 months out, and one is Yesterday July 28th.... I just want to say to anyone thats in a stall... Just switch it up... You will not fail... Just do something different... If your running on a treadmill, start doing different kinds of exercises, change your diet completely.. If your eating chicken breast and salad and your in a stall... eat brocoli and fish... and drink a whole lot more water... Stalls come and trust me, stalls go.. I aint where i wanna be yet, and I was in a stall for 3 weeks without knowing it... but when i realized what was up.. I switched it up,.. and im back on the downward spiral... Good luck VSG family!

Salad....? Im one of the lucky ones who has found that I can eat anything i want... since about a month out.. NOT THAT I DO.. But i can... and Ive learned so much on this ride.. Its not about being hungry.... cause im hungry all the time... But i did this to be healthy and i wont let the hunger decide for me.. yeah, every once in a while i want a lil debbies snack cake or something.. but do i eat the whole thing, NO! can I YES... and SALAD! yes... No problems here... Your 2 weeks out! keep on trucking.. Youll be eating salad before you know it..

      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!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
