I just checked her profile and she hasn't posted since 12-31-07. I hope she's okay. Buttercup, let us know how you're doing.

Atlspeedy, good luck with the appointment and keep us posted about your surgery.

Hello everyone. Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I had a death in my immediate family, so i have been traveling back and forth to my home in Mississippi. As far as the weight loss, it has really slowed down. I had my first fill a few weeks ago but i still have no restriction. I am due to have another one in 3 weeks. I hope it helps. I am exercising and trying to follow the diet but its tough. Other than that i am doing well. Good to see everyone else is doing great. Good luck with your approval, Atlspeedy. I promise to keep in touch. Just had alot going on this past month. Well i am heading out to vote. I will check back in later.

Buttercup, I'm so sorry hear about the death in your family. I will definitely be praying for you and your family.

It is soo hard to lose weight when you don't have decent restriction. I hope this next fill does the trick for you. It's so good to hear from you and please do keep in touch. Take care!

      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!!
