2013 November Sleevers



Recommended Posts

Today is day 1 of my 15day pre-opt and I have been easing into 5 shakes per day. Today is the day!! this is the start of my new relationship with food!!! I knew I would have to be mentally prepared' date=' however I have never had to give myself soo many peps talks lol when I start to get cravings I remind myself why I am doing this and what and who is important!!! I have six children that need a healthy mom!! I want to be able to do things with them instead of not being able to walk long distances or afraid of embarrassing them. I want to live long enough to see them grow up to be adults and have careers and families :) I've tried many diets and have been in a heck of a roller coaster ride.. I am confident this tool will be what I need to be successful and get my life back. Best wishes to everyone on my same journey and thank you for the support reading so many similar stories and knowing you are not alone is also great motivation!!! [/quote']yes mine is the 15th of November

      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!!
