<span style="color:#0000ff;">Two weeks until my pre-op appointment. </span>

Hey, me too :). A whole day of fun and excitement - I am pretty sure my head may explode with information overload!

I am 4 days post op and I ventured to the grocery store today with my husband.

LESSON #1: I am not strong enough to control my sense of smell or sight. I had to leave and go sit in the car.

Sometimes I get tired of eating so little; but not tired enough to even consider "going back".

Really getting sick of all the planning that has to go into my daily meals. I'm still on puréed/soft foods. It is a pain in the butt to try and pack lunch for work. And #2 random thought , I am READY to see some change in how my clothes fit! 15 lbs lost since surgery and nothing has changed. It's a little discouraging.

when I'm getting sick I always take oscillocoxicilliam You can get it at any drug store or target or wal mart. It's homeopathic and it comes in little tubes that you open and swallow what's inside. They are teeny little balls so easy to swallow. I swear it's like a wonder drug. I even take them when I'm just feeling tired and worn out. Hope u feel better soon. Get lots of rest and fluids. And an ice bag on my neck and a dab of icy hot on each temple usually drives my headache away.

Thank you I am feeling better. Think it was a new medicine they put me on for reflex.

So another random thought. Dr office called me like 5 times today. 1 can we move your appointment to the 11th. Hell they just moved it yesterday to the 13th.

      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!!
