Any May 2014 sleevers?



Recommended Posts

Today is the last day of my full liquid diet and I start 1 week of Clear Liquids prior to surgery on the 14th. I go for all of my preop testing tomorrow morning so I'm excited to be getting close. I lost 8.8 lbs since last Wednesday by gained a couple back today so that was extremely discouraging. But I'm sure ups and downs are going to happen!

My surgery is May 15th. Yikes! This is my second. I had a lap band in 2011 that had to be removed 7 months later, so I'm nervous and excited.

Jess, I will be with you on that day but I am so busy that I barely have time to think about it. Fire at mom's place in while she is on vacation in Arizona and a new job for my husband where I already work part time, prep for an intimate talk with about 3, 000 high school students, speak on stage to the said students, arrange to get new floors installed, plant bulbs. prep for post op etc... this is just a sample. My center doesn't have me on the liquid but I do it because of the convenience so find something to keep you busy but make sure you don't let the gremlins roar, I find that the shakes actually help. I call them gremlins, there is a technical name but i don't know how to spell it.

i have not gone through it yet but, i plan to make popsicle with the clear Isopure, its a bit pricey at about $4 a bottle but I think its still worthy for the clear days. I tried a batch and my only problem is to keep hubby from them, Just joking, after the operation he wont even think about it. He is a little afraid something will go wrong.

      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!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
