My name is Kelly and I'm on the 22nd at 1pm.

I totally will not be sad to see the last thick vanilla or choclate shake go down tonight. I've made it 15 freaking days..no slips and Ive been making my family dinner each night, and lunch some days. A lot of food has passed threw my hands. Various smells have dirven me crazy..garlic, cheese, chili dog casarole..to name a few.

What we have ALL achieved up to this point is awesome and nothing short of amazing! Lets find a way to be nice to ourselves for a treat before we all go in to the hospital this week!

For me, I got my old laptop working again so that I can have one last hot bath for a few weeks. I like to watch a movie or show while I'm in there..so that will be my be nice to myself for all the willpower and hard work it took to make it to this point!

This post is my first time using this site while using a real pc! Ive never seen half of this stuff! :D

Hello All:

My name is Bonnie. I am the 22nd @ 9:30 as well.

This is my 10th day of Protein shakes. I have to admit that a couple of french fries fell in my mouth today. BUT I have a really good excuse TOM. I was good the other 9 days, but TOM made me do it. I am in so much FN pain and I can't take Advil before surgery. (Sorry for the RANT).

I wish everyone the best of luck. This week will be very exciting for us all.

So, I'm curious, my surgery packet says I can have Gatorade up to 4 hours before surgery. Anyone else told this? I'm thinking it may be because I'm not having my surgery until 1 in the afternoon.

Bonnie, why are you in pain? From the fries or other issues?

Tylenol doesn't work for you?

Interesting. My surgery is 9:30 AM and I am nothing by mouth after midnight. I have always heard it is nothing by mouth 8 hours before surgery.

      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!!
