To all of the September Sleevers! Just wanted to let you all know I had my Sleeve surgery this past Thursday, Sept 1st. I was nervous a few days before, but the day of surgery, I was unusually calm. Surgery lasted about an hr and I was in recovery for a few hrs due to sleep apnea, they need to monitor longer. I was up walking soon after. Just felt like gas pains and it did travel to my shoulder. I had a nice private room at the end of the corridor, nice and quiet! I didn't like the pain meds, felt nauseous, so I just took liquid Tylenol. I was able to have liquids on day two, had a bit of broth, Decaf tea, but Isopure was nasty! I sip everything slowly and got it down ok. I came home today, only pain is where they put drainage tube, not my stomach! It just feels sore like stitch pain, but very tolerable. I got some Premier Protein drinks in chocolate, they are 30 grams of Protein. Much tastier than isopure! Just a bit tired from hospital and a little sore. I had a great surgeon and hospital staff was amazing. Hoping for all of you to have a speedy recovery!! The best thing is to be prepared beforehand and go in positive!

      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!!
