I thought I would put in an update for anyone who might be interested or who was following this thread. I lost a total of 4.2lbs after my 5 day liquid reset. I found that I had good restriction yesterday after eating. Last night I had some slow cooker mongolian beef and broccoli and I still had good restriction. I really haven't had strong cravings for anything but last night I did have to talk myself out of having a Peanut Butter Power Crunch bar (I love those things) and instead had a cup of Decaf choc peanut butter coffee. I think it more had to do with habits - watching TV and it was early evening - a time I would typically "like a little something snacky". I've decided that I need to restrict myself to weighing only 1x a week on my designated Monday mornings. I have also realized that I need to ensure that I am getting at least 64oz of Water in a day. The 5 days of liquids wasn't a walk in the park, but it wasn't that difficult either. I would do it again in the future if I needed to.

@@proudgrammy your 5 days are over! Hope you got the results you wanted.

congrats bud!!!

your slow cook beef meal sounded great - you forgot to invite me!! LOL

that's great that your restriction is flourishing!!!

i agree - eating/snacking is one of those "old habits die hard"

something i always have to think about not doing

weighing weekly instead of daily

you are not staring at the pot every day waiting for Water to boil

you are not staring at the scale everyday to see the # move!!

ok, drumb roll.............

ending weight 136.8

      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!!
