It's better than I thought it would be. I needed pain meds as soon as I woke up and they worked wonders. Now, it's 2:30 am and I am only on Torradol-nothing really crazy.

Even though my surgery is not till September, (thanks blue cross & blue shield) my surgeon said I would not be on liquid diet before the surgery. I am not sure if that's because I have a low BMI or that's just how he runs things. I considered myself lucky.

I'm pretty frustrated that for the last week and a half my weight toggles between 248 and 251. I was losing about a lb a day and I've been stuck at the same weight for a week and a half. And I'm not understanding how I can gain 3 lbs when I can barely eat. I ate half of a meat ball last night and a few bites of potatoes. Grrrr! I hope my body isn't done losing weight cuz that's a lot if money for 30 lbs.

My weight has been fluctuating by a pound the past couple days too. I'm sure it'll even itself out.

How do you manage just having the fluids? Don't you get hungry?

In my preop diet I did get hungry and I did have headaches the first week. BUT the second week was much better and a lot easier. And now... My stomach never growls but I know I'm hungry when my stomach just feels empty. It's hard to explain until you experience it.

      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!!
