Hi Everyone, been MIA a bit catching up on the crazy life here! Weather has got me nutso, pups were sick...Ken and I have a new WLS Dr. now and I had to have some testing done...work...kids...all the fun stuff you know :)

Glad to see everyone is doing well, Happy "belated" Birthday @@☠carolinagirl☠ Celebrate every day!!!

As for the negative ninny's out there...UGH is all I can say. Some people just feel the need to be negative and to have their voice heard as if they are making a difference or saving the world.

Really, these people need to get a grip and get a life. Come back when you have some experience in both area's and then lets talk :) I bet their tune changes quite a bit.

Hi All, Sorry I've been MIA as well. Happy belated birthday to my friend @☠carolinagirl☠. Hope you all have a wonderful turkey day. Remember friends we're not on diets....if you want it then have it but have it in moderation. You can always have more later.

10 days away from my trip to Disney. Getting excited!!

Jim, I keep forgetting to ask you, do you still keep in touch with Missy? I miss her. I learned a real from her and enjoyed her thoughts.

Hi everyone. The weather sucks in Boston. Rain all morning, then around 3, sleet and now rain again. I am about 10 miles south of the city. Western MA has snow, ugh!

I hope everyone has a super great Thanksgiving. I will try. My sons will be there but are not talking to each other right now. I hope it changes. We are all going to my brother and SIL's. My 2 nephews in-laws are coming too which will be very nice. First holiday that no 'parents' will be there. In July my SIL's 97 year old father died and 30 days later my 96 year old mother died.

Have a great long weekend everyone.

Arlene

Hi there -- ran away for the holiday and had to leave a day early to get ahead of a major snowstorm. Over a foot at home, eek. Having a lot of joint pain and happy to find Voltaren over the counter here in Canada. My co-pay in the US is $40 so normally I'm stingy with it. Pain, travel, stress and cold weather have made it difficult for me to eat. Enjoyed a Cappuccino and a cookie this afternoon after not being able to eat my lunch. Husband and son always happy to help with that problem. goimg to a jazz club tonight and will try some steak or other dense Protein. Nice to be away from home, eldercare issues, work, etc. Hope every one had a nice thanksgiving. Like all of you here, I'm grateful for this site and our mutual support -- and I'm grateful for this Banders thread where I don't have to defend my choice or read a lot of nonsense. It works for me -- that's what matters.

      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!!
