Well all went well 12/2! I am three days out and feeling great. Word to those coming up....ask for pain meds as soon as you can and walk to get the gas out. Its the worst. Pop a gas x strip immediately. Best wishes!!!

I'm glad you're feeling great. I feel miserable I'm actually second guessing myself right now! I'm in Houston as well. What type of things are you eating right now? If you don't mind me asking what Dr did you go through

I used Dr. Hollis. He is fantastic. I haven't hit my 64 oz liquids yet but I am close. I keep a tervis tumbler of crystal light in hand at all times and sip sip every ten minutes. For Breakfast I made my Protein Shake with 6 oz of Water and took 30 minutes to get it all down. Took my kids to lunch and had the broth from wonton Soup. I also drank a cup go hot tea this afternoon. Today I was out and about for about three hours and that wore me out. There is a few FB groups that are great.

I am on day 11 pre-op diet, liquids only. I went to the hospital today for my pre-op, my surgery is on the 10th one day and one wake-up. My question is, has anyone gained weight on the liquid? I gained six lbs. and i have not cheated once. the only thing that i can think of is the broth, it is sooooo full of sodium. I was so depressed i almost call off my surgery. But, it has taken me 4 months to get here. I just don't understand. My heart was broken. Someone please tell me this is going to work for me. Am i going to gain weight on this sleeve surgery?

      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!!
