Best wishes!!! It's exciting, isn't it?

Today I saw the nutritionist, then went to Walgreen's to buy Vitamins. The Pharmacist gave me this big grin and said "you are going to be so happy", and told me about her husband who lost 150 ibs and how well he is doing. Made my day!

At the hospital now just checked in surgery in 3 hours I can't wait because I am soooooo thirsty

Had my sleeve this morning and was in a room by 9 am. Slept a little while and have dozed off & on all day but kept being woke up by various things. Have been taking tiny sips of Water and that bothers a little, but a burp soon follows and all is well. The larger incision is the only one I can feel when I move. Have been walking the floors.

Got home yesterday and feeling a lot better today. Getting my Water in slowly and just got down a Protein Shake. Not near as sore today & not as much gas, so hopefully that's almost gone. Overall I think I'm doing pretty good. I'm sleeping on my back though, too much discomfort when I try side sleeping. I'm sure you will feel better as time passes. I know I do with each day passing. Good luck on your recovery.

      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!!
