Thank you how do you feel so far?

Good! The first week was rough, I was reaaaaaally sore on my port side, I had a hernia repair, so that could have attributed to it too.

I'm feeling much better this week, been in the gym the last 5 days. Haven't lost any in the last week, but I think my body is trying to figure out what's going on.

How's your experience been so far?

Love your glasses Pjones!

I was banded in 2011 and just had a baby a year ago so I'm trying to get back into it! I don't have a scale at my house anymore so I'm only checking my weight when I see my doctor :)

Well I had a partial unfill so I had no real restriction until a couple months ago. Having a baby also made me not really care so much as about my well-being for a long time.

I understand. We all have set backs on this process. Just get back to the Protein and working and you'll be fine

      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!!
