What Are Some Things You Can't Wait for POST OP?



Recommended Posts

@@butterfyeffect I completely understand. I can not wait to walk into Old Navy and shop, instead of having to purchase their items online only.

For now, I can't wait for the next month to be over. At this point, I will be happy to get back into my 22/24 size clothes that I already have in my closet :) .

Can't wait to come home and not be glued to the couch all night due to lack of energy.

Never been a runner, but for some reason I want to be able to run for exercise.

Stop wearing sleep apnea mask!

Cross my legs, don't ever recall being able to do so.

Not worrying about fitting in booths or how sturdy outdoor furniture is.

Shopping in normal size clothing stores and not paying $60 for a pair of pants.

Being able to ride at amusement parks. I live 30 minutes from hershey park, plan on getting a season pass next year!

Not feeling like everyone is looking at you when you're in public.

Having my husband and son benefit from the new healthily eating and getting them more active with me.

Actually being in photos instead of always taking them.

Many more that I can't think of right now. I see July 24 as the start of many good changes to come :)

Throwing on shorts and a tank top, and leaving the house wearing them! I live in south Florida, it's hot! But I never wear shorts or tank tops out, this would be so awesome for me!

I can't wait to not have to worry about sliding into a booth at a restaurant with friends.

I can't wait to put my laptop on my lap.

Cant wait to cross my legs.

Cant wait to sit on flimsy patio chairs.

Cant wait to fit in a school desk when I go to teacher parent meetings.

Oh my gosh these hit the nail on the head for me-every single one. I'll add:

Wearing a one piece bathing suit with no skirt and looking good!

I'm ready to chew some food again! Seems like I've been on liquids forever! I am ready to wear bright colors and smaller sizes. To sit in a restaurant booth and have room and to not have little kids stare at me.

No, expensive is figuring size 8 is what you were in college and when you got to size 8, you spent a big chunk of money on clothes.

Only to go smaller to the point that the size 8's you can't wear any more.

Yes!!! And then starting to worry as the size 6's you again invested a chunk in start getting loose ????

      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!!
