Congratulations on your best decision ever!!! Well the first 5 days are the hardest! The next 3 weeks weren't so bad and then it gets easier. Hair loss no one told me about and didn't know it was going to happen! At 3 months out I started loading a lot hair but I have a lot of hair so not a big deal but start taking Biotin now it helps. The biggest thing I can say is just do everything they tell you to do. Eat slow and look for signs your getting full because if you over eat your stomach feels like a rock and other time you just throw up. I finally figure it out if I sneeze or my nose starts running I have to stop eating because that's my sign I'm full. Also make sure you weigh everything it helps. Clothes at first it's small but then it's starts the clothes just start falling off. I went from size 22 to an 18 and then 18 to 16. And now I'm going in to some 14. Don't bit a lot of clothes look for a sale and buy a few things just to get your thru. I hit a one day Macys sale and got 5 pants for 60 dollars and that's great. It's all just goes fast. Also get yourself a fitbit - this thing is great you can keep track of your meals and your Water. It give you a break down of fat vs carbs and Protein. I try to keep my carbs under 40 and make sure I get in at least 60 protein. Also it's keeps track of your steps and your activity . It helps me get my steps in. I hope this helps and if you have any other questions just ask. Good luck to you!

      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!!
