I'm not getting sleeved anymore I had to change things around because lately I've been having a little acid reflux and the doc said the leave would make it worse. I'm nervous cuz I really wanted the sleeve and my surgery is right around the corner August 18th

I have to get the bypass :/

Ok y'all. I'm about to cry. I have standard Wednesday night dinner plans with friends. They don't know what my surgery next week is. We discussed salmon, veggies, no carbs this week and berries for dessert. Instead we have potato/cauliflower pancakes and granita for dessert. I haven't eaten much today knowing to save most of my calories. I wish I wasn't so hungry! I guess I'm going to have to tell them sooner rather than later....

Ok day 3 update!

Gas has significantly gone done. Incision points are still extremely sore but all together not that bad. Should have been released today but I had an erratic heartbeat last night so I have to stay overnight.

Keep faith it's not that bad. The liquid diet leading up to operation is great makes you crave less when you're sipping tiny amounts of fluids out of medicine cups. Haha good luck everyone!

1 week post-op and feeling really good. For those just a day or two out, it does get better. Hang in there!

And I lost 12 lbs since surgery so I am very happy!

Have to do full liquids for another week then move to puréed. Never thought I'd be excited about puréed food but I so am!

      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!!
