Day 4 is in the books



Recommended Posts

Day 4 of liquids is done and I must say that today was much better than yesterday. I did have some pretty bad nausea today and was dizzy, but it seems that has subsided. Onto day 5 tomorrow...and Friday is weigh in day. I wish 50 pounds could be lost in one week, but I know thats not going to happen.

Your doing great, I dread that part but you are an insparation. I know it's just the beginning of the process but it's still scary, it's good to know your doing so well. I'm still waiting for approval.

Thanks so much. I am on the preop for 4-6 weeks so it is hard. I just keep reminding myself of the light at the end of the tunnel.

No solids at all. I get 4 Protein shakes a day, unlimited sugar free Jello, sugar free popsicles, broth and Water. That is all. This is the hardest thing I have ever had to do.

Well you are in luck, because I don't know where you live to get you!!!

I don't think most people can go a month without having a slip up...

Oh kids dinners are the worse (or the hardest) I always finished my children's leftover bits as not to waste! Now I scrape them into the garbage or the digs bowl.. And It's still hard sometimes!

Don't feel like a failure because you are not. Just try and do better tomorrow! Just remember this is in your hands and you are giving yourself a wonderful gift that you deserve :)

      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!!
