Just got my time to be at the hospital. 9:00. Whooo hoo! Very excited. I'm sure the nerves will break this evening. I've only lost 6 pounds on the pre diet. Made me a little mad but just goes to show that my body doesn't like to loose weight very well. Can't wait!

The time has finally arrived, surgery is tomorrow. I just finished drinking that dreaded Magnesium Citrate, now I sit and wait for the hours of uncontrollable pooping.

I'm officially sleeved!! As of yesterday I had my surgery. I was naucious last night but today feel much better as I've been walking the halls which helps with the gas pains. Already had my leak test and is came out good so I'm started on 33ml of Water for an hour? Having someone here with me is helpful too just to help with compression socks and not having to wait for someone to walk with me.

So I was sleeved last night between 6-8...my pain has been pretty bad but perhaps I just have a low threshold or perhaps it was the gallbladder removal. Anyway, I'm home now. They used staples instead of glue on my incisions. Anyone know why they would do this? I never saw my surgeon after the surgery and nobody else could tell me why because he normally does not.

No clue. My surgeon used internal dissolve stitches and glue on top and I'm so grateful because I've had no issues. No pain.

      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!!
