I have my last class on May 9th that's like a graduation day class and I'm pretty sure I am going to be the biggest loser or pretty close to one of the people that wins some type of prize they're going to give the biggest loser something everybody keeps telling me it's me so far in the class I have lost 44 pounds at orientation if we go by that weight it's almost 48 pounds I started at 291 and today I am at 243. They let me actually make my surgeon appointment where I meet with the surgeon and that is on May 16th. I am going with Dr Naik.
I am so excited for my Tuesday class I can't wait and then I'm super excited for my surgeon appointment and I talked with the girl in the office at the surgeons office and she said depending on what type of liquid diet he puts me on hopefully it's only for 3 days since I've lost so much weight but it could be a week or longer than I should be able to have surgery right after that I'm hoping by the end of MayI will definitely let everybody know when I get my surgery date.

      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!!
