Wow! Things just got real. I have been scheduled to report to the hospital tomorrow at 11 am. I just received the phone call to confirm and now it's 6 a.m! I had planned such a leisurely morning to get ready and be there by 11. I am happy it is earlier, less being grumpy with no liquids after midnight. Getting excited!

Surgery went well. Had some internal bleeding last night that caused a good-sized hematoma on the right side of my belly. They gave me two bags of plasma and everything is looking better. Moved to a regular room today and they took away the morphine pump. We had to cut the pain pill in 4 pieces and take with Jello. It was tough to get them down!

I just got home and I am a little sore. The surgery went well. The staff at Norwood Hospital were fantastic. Once the Doc gave me the ok on my barium swallow test I GULPED ice Water. The water came right back up it wasn't really gross or painful but it was unpleasant so please remember to sip that first cold drink of water.

I did a lot of walking on the floor and it really does help with the post surgery gas pains.

I had great plans I was going to make 3 or 4 shakes and get all my Protein in today, I am rethinking that now my Doc even said to me "take it easy don't worry about getting all your protein and supplements in today" I think I am just going to sip water and see how I feel throughout the day.

Good health and best wishes to all

Jay

My surgery is Monday 7/27. This is day 7 of my clear liquid diet. I feel terrible and I'm starving. As of Monday I've lost 12lbs. I definitely feel lighter not having any food in my body but I also don't have any energy. I know this is all for a reason (to shrink my liver for surgery) and I'm glad I'm already losing but wow, I really underestimated how hard this would be. I'm nervously excited for my surgery. Less than 4 days to go!

      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!!
