Lol! Awesome. I'm in although my sleeve is a week away I'm always in the mood for a laugh. Most of the times my laughing is at myself..smh..but if we can't laugh at ourselves what fun is it? Have a great day everyone. Ps...the dog's look is priceless! That how my sissy dog looks at me when I'm paparazzing her XD!

good. I was getting worried. Was trying to add up in my head how many calories/carbs he would be.

Well, not food or dog related because I was just sleeved yesterday, but the surgeon, my husband I were joking about what we could tell people. The surgeon was all, "Come up with something ridiculous! OMG - I don't have any idea how I lost all this weight! I just started bathing in egg whites everyday and, bam!" Followed by a discussion of whether you could start a run on egg whites and would a legion of cranky plumbers come after

Option 2 was a rare tropical paradise. "Yes," I replied, "maybe I picked it up when I lived in Micronesia a million years ago. The lack of sun in Seattle finally killed it off, and all the weight it brought died off, too."

Not hilarious, but it lightened things up before surgery. No dogs in my house, but my cats are Siberians - even if I could get past the metric ton of fur, they have awfully big teeth and claws. OTOH, they are jumpers and have giant thighs like a rabbit. I often wonder how the breed made it through those cold Russian winters. Was cat thigh Soup a thing?post-300613-14751382626306_thumb.jpg

I was sleeved in May. I mixed a teaspoon of baby rice Cereal into my Protein shake to "thicken" it up a tiny bit. Definitely helped with fullness.

Ayah - I meant to say "parasite" instead of "paradise". Drugged up posts... I just thought it was hilarious the surgeon was coming up with such ridiculous stories. I explained I'd only told my kids (13/16) about the hernia repair part of the surgery because I hadn't wanted them to worry too much. The 13 year old loves medicine and I was all, "Hey - want to see my cool scars? Go fetch my Water..." The 16 year old has an anxiety disorder, so it's more like, "Hurry up with those dishes or I'll show you my horrifying scars!"

And yup, those are my cats wearing their best, "You look tasty," look. They keep coming to see me and walk around on my belly to make sure I'm okay They're helpful like that.

Hope you're feeling better. Animals definitely know when we're not ok. Cooper wouldn't eat while I was in the hospital and when I came home he was literally glued to my side for days.

      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!!
