Thanks, I'm glad you're feeling better.
I'm just excited to get it done and want the date here already.
I'm doing all of the pre op clearance visits over the next 2 weeks and I'm praying that none of the results delays the surgery date.
In case you haven't noticed I'm a bit of an anxious person.
Good luck on your journey, I can't wait to be in your shoes. [emoji847]

Nice!!! Good luck to you!!! Who's doing your surgery? Where? Please keep us posted! I'm doing well, taking it one day at a time. I'm in my pureed stage right now, looking forward to starting my soft food stage next week.

Dr. Chau in Princeton. I'm really on edge about starting the pre-op liquid diet tomorrow.

South Jersey here. I'm waiting to be discharged. Had my sleeve yesterday. I have zero pain. Not taking anything but tylenol. I've asked if the pain is waiting til i get home. They say if it was going to it would've happened. I did everything they told me. The liquids were ok. The broth from wonton Soup helped. Don't watch food commercials! Lol

Congratulations! I was sleeved July 12. Three weeks today. I've done really well. Controlling my head more than anything. Miss a cup of tea with a cookie. Rye toast with eggs. But I coach myself through those moments. I got through a lot of the liquids requirements with the broth from the wonton Soup atTokyo Mandarin! So good! Take care of yourself. I found I ran out of energy for longer than I expected. Keep in touch.

hows the full liquids? Every time I advanced to the next stage of food I thought "Just in time before I lost my mind!"

How are you doing? Hope you're doing great!

Full Liquids are delicious! I had to make sure that I didn't try to eat it all at once! LoL! I almost over did it though but recognized another spoonful would have not been pretty.

So far so good. No problems so far except it's hard to keep up on all my other liquids. Still don't want to get dehydrated.

How are you making out ?

All liquids count. Not just Water and Protein. So I imagine you're doing good. When can you have sf pudding? I bought French vanilla protein in Trader Joe's.I'm a recovering late night bowl of ice cream person. But now I take the pudding. Put it in a nice bowl. Mix in a scoop...20 grams!...of protein and enjoy! I don't eat/drink anything out of a plastic container! Time to use my better dishes and glasses and pretend it's all gourmet! 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!!
