Hi, NewLA! :) Congrats on your surgery! How are you feeling?

I'm feeling really good. This was not what I was expecting. In my mind this was going to be so much worse. My time frame may have helped it... my total process from start to finish was 120 days.

@@Beautiful 1 welcome to the losers bench. Staying hydrated is important. Sip a little as much as you can. I found for me to get the Protein in immediately after surgery I split my Protein into four smaller drinks per day. I also found my taste had changed and tried the Syntrax nectar Fuzzy Navel. As far as the Multivitamins I struggled with the bariatric Vitamins and ended up switching to Flintstones complete which I still use to date.

Congrats and good luck to you!

Hey, Marylanders! In month 1 of my 6 month waiting period. Going with Dr. Gandsas at Bariatric & Metabolic Weight Loss Unit at Anne Arundel Medical Center. These folks are so organized & detailed. Love their commitment. Have Psych Eval tomorrow and Bariatric Exercise Program starts Friday. Great vibes go out to everyone!

      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!!
