HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!

Just had my cup of low sodium chicken broth for brunch.. looking forward to some turkey and veggies for dinner later.. at least it's real food..lol

Doc said it was okay--3 oz turkey, 8oz of veggies and that's it.. then a cup of broth later this evening ...so I don't wake up hungry.. and Water, water, water..

Found out I have to do all Clear Liquids on Saturday and Sunday...OY! I've managed so far because at least I could have actual food and a chocolate Protein shake.. now all clear just broth, water and Protein Shots pretty much.. now that is going to be a little harder..guess I'll clean again this weekend too..lol My house hasn't been this bright and shiny since I moved in..a few years back! I've hit every corner, organized every cabinet and drawer, turned over furniture, pulled out appliances, etc. This time maybe I'll scrub all the tile with a toothbrush..haha..

Thanksgiving was my biggest challenge yet on this pre op diet. Our party of 20 motored through a 29 pound turkey and lots of great stuff. My wife and I did all the cooking so I had it all right in my face.

But, I held strong and have only consumed 500 calories today.

      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!!
