I am finally banded and so super excited! I feel like crap though! This gas pain is a real killer and my mouth is so dry and my throat hurts from intubation. Pain killers are a blessing though! I am so excited to start my journey! Right now I'm taking it slow just excited now to go buy some gas x hahaha! This pain isn't unbearable with pain meds and it's so so worth it!

Thanx everyone! Been feeling much better! Still tryin to work out my gas pains though. I am hoping to be back to school by Tuesday and work by Friday. Haven't been hungry and kind of eating at my own pace. I'm on liquids so lots of Popsicles and Water and Gatorade broth and pudding! Can't wait to eat normal food again though and really get started! Hoping the dr clears me for puréed or soft foods on Friday

      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!!
