Hi everyone ! I check In tomorrow first thing for my VSG 6/23. Excited and nervous . Reading all the posts has helped to know what to expect . I just want to get on with gettin on . Seems like these past two weeks have been the longest . Keeping myself very busy has helped with the Pre-op diet. I have found where sitting and watching tv are directly related to eating for me. So I found that shutting off the boob tube and doing something else is helpful. Having said that, my house is spotless at this point. Even got some house painting done in the last month! Amazing the world that lies beyond the tv am I right ? All those I should do this or that .. even if it's just clearing out a junk drawer I had been meaning to do forever helps to distract the mind from eating. It also feels really great when it's done! So as I go along on this journey I decided to not allow much more than an hour of tv per evening/weekends . Idle time is no friend of mine. On a funny note, at my final consult with my surgeon a week ago he said "oh I get to perform your procedure on my birthday ! " I thought, hmmmm I think I'll give him something nice like I dunno say 80% of my stomach! Lol "your welcome!!"
good luck to all here and see you on the other side .

I made it! Doing good . Little discomfort with gas pain right after but it is what it is and I just keep telling myself it's temporary. It's much better and near gone as I write this. my pain level about a 5 so not too bad at all . I plan on a picture montage as my journey unfolds . ✌🏻

      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!!
