Okay... so I'm day 2 of the liquid diet and feeling pretty good. I fly out tomorrow morning, Tuesday. Nervous and excited at the same time. Can't wait to hear from those of you scheduled this week. Praying and believing all goes well during and after for all of us!

Safe travels and thinking good, healthy thoughts for Wednesday! :) See you on the flip side. Whoop!

Good luck...I am with Covala June 30. I learned today that he uses a 36 bougie sleeve size which is right in the middle of the range. I wish you no leaks. Freddie

Well we are 14 hours post op. Leak test tomorrow. Lots of gas. Remember your gas medicine! Ouch. We have walked some and can only have ice chips. Looking forward to popsicles and gatorade after leak test. Tijuana is beautiful and the people are so nice. We hope to come back for a family vacation sometime. Yea! We are sleeved.

      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!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
