Anyone else's stomach in a ball of nerves now? Didn't think it'll happen to me, since having multiple surgeries before. Not really nervous, still excited, guess anxious maybe? I'm not familiar with this feeling.

at first I thought maybe I had a bad Protein drink...but it hasn't gone.

On the flip side, I ordered a size large swimsuit for next year. 😂 I expect to be wearing it too and hopefully it'll fit and not be too big (or even small).

I am feeling similar. I think it is just normal to be anxious before a major surgery.

I will be picked up tomorrow morning at 8:30 to head over to the hospital. I will have some pre op tests and then surgery.

I will be keeping all of you in my prayers for a safe surgery with no complications.

We are all going to do great. I hope we can manage to sleep a little tonight. See you on the other side!!

I'm not gonna lie, I'm scared! But I know my journey to a thinner healthier me starts as 6 am now to sleep just a little bit if possible. My prayers are with you all. May the Lord gift all of our surgeons with care and skill to bring us through this and set us on our paths to brighter happier healthier lives. Xoxo my friends see you after we wake up!

For the past two days, I've been on liquids, only yesterday was Clear Liquids. Since I don't have to be at the hospital today until 1, my mom and I are actually going to the zoo! Thankfully, I can still drink Water all day. I'm still not nervous or excited. I have no idea why. I know a few of you are already in prep, so good luck!!!

Have fun at the zoo! That's a great way to kill time.

      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!!
