News! We need updates! Shami, dedicatedlady, emmapat14, mamaward64, theunrealjohn, connie2775, HOW IS EVERYONE DOING??? (I apologize if I missed someone, this is a long thread!)
Update us! We want to know!


I wish I had more to tell. I was postponed by two weeks as my pre-op showed I had high blood pressure. I've never had it before but I suppose I've never been this heavy before.

It's now looooooowwww and I'm scheduled for 26th July. It's been a bit of an emotional roller coaster as a result. Thankfully my pre-op diet is real food and it just means my cooking needs to be imaginative. Must be working - I've lost 28 lbs since mid June (I started early!). It's good for the soul!

Wow, John! That's a whole saga right there. I'm sorry you got postponed but at least not cancelled, right?

Abd way to go with losing so much so fast! My surgeon has had me on a diet for the last 6 months and I've only lost 32. But I guess that's why I'm having metabolic surgery, huh?

My surgery date is the day after yours, I'll be thinking of you!

I'm having surgery on July 25th!! It's good to see all the positivity even through some of the frustrations and delays with the surgery.

Looks like I won't be joining you all this month. Had my final weigh in and labs with my pcp on July 6. Can't get in for pre op appointment with surgeon until July 26. Then we wait for insurance. I also hear that my surgeon only has a few more dates left in August for surgeries. I am crushed. I am going on a 8 day cruise in October for my husbands 40th birthday and I wanted to be further along in the healing process.

You must be crushed. Keep your eyes on the prize, though. Don't give up!

Today is 15 days since surgery, incisions are closed up, glue is off and you don't notice them as much as I thought you might. Everything inside feels good (I've slept on my stomach since day 5 or so). According to post op I'm full liquids until day 17, then purée until day 24, and soft foods until day 40 when I can go back to solids slowly. I've eaten lots of food that had made me puke, but every time it has been my fault ie. having 3tbsp of puréed Soup instead of 2tbsp. In the first 2 weeks after surgery I have come down 18lbs, bringing my pre-op+post-op total to -45. If I am bored and at home I think about food, if I'm busy,out,or on a walk I don't even remember that it exists. Oh, and I can't watch tv or read flyers, they stuff so many toxic foods in my face it makes me crazy lol

      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!!
