I have mostly great days. I had acid reflux issues the first two weeks but doctor gave meds and advised to sleep upright for now. Also nausea for the last couple days. I think when I was told about chewing slow and taking smaller bite I took it lightly at first. But you really have to learn your body all over again and really really slow down. I really wish I knew that I would be so lethargic, as I'm a fairly on the go kind of person. Since my pre-op diet, I've been lacking energy. But I am told it will get better by latest month 3 of post-op.

Hey I've had my good days and my bad days but over all i think I'm doing ok. My surgeon was Dr. Urbach, I have my follow up appointment on January 7th so waiting anxiously to see how much I've lost cause i really just trust their scale but if it matches up to what my scale says than I'll start weighing myself at home.

@@bigbattynatty thanks I've noticed that things are getting better as the days go by. It's still trial and error especially as I've entered the puree stage. Ypu had your's in november how are you doing besides the low energy?

That's good! Same here, occasional days where I feel nauseous or have gas bubbles in my esophagus but usually passed when I walk around and get moving a bit. I'm just really taking it day by day.

@@bigbattynatty Are you taking anything for the nausea and gas? Have you checked in with your doctor's office about it? I hear it happens fairly often and there's probably something they can give you for it or that you can buy over the counter.

I hope you feel better soon.

      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!!
