Ugh' date=' really feeling better today since they switched ny anti nausea meds last night. :-). Now drinking my first Protein shake and Water with crystal light. Sip, walk, sip & walk are gonna be my list of things to do!

I had my surgery on May 9. Not sure what my weight was that day (silly, I know) but I've lost 7.5 since my discharge day of Saturday! Things went very well but the surgeon tied the top of my pouch a little tight so fixed it while still in. Because I was under an hour longer than usual, he insisted on my staying an extra day to see how I tolerated fluids. The worst part was having my drain removed. It wasn't planned but he was being extra cautious bc of the minor complication (which I appreciate). The drain removal SUUUUUUCKED. Oh, I almost passed out. I'm a little tired but very mobile. Am able to get in about 30 g of Protein per day but that's pushing it for me. Pushing the liquids, though. How is everyone else?!??!

      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!!
