Hi all....I had my surgery on the 25th of July and am doing really good! I healed nicely and went back to work on light duty after 2 and a half weeks. My surgeon and other docs are happy with my healing and progress so far. It's difficult for me to remember to eat slow and with small bites and to sip not gulp my water/drinks, but I'm working on it!

How are the rest of you doing?

I had Gastric Sleeve on July 25 also. I had a post op infection that put me back in the hospital for 5 days a week after my surgery.

I am recovering but still on antibiotics. I've lost 34 pounds so far.

I'm another person who had surgery on 7/25. Doing well, still some lingering pain but nothing that needs tylenol let alone opiates. Still feeling tired and a little wore down. Down 30lbs!

How's everyone doing? My RNY was July 25, 2017 ... When I began this journey in January I weighed 244 ... I'm down 44 lbs since January, 36 since 2 wks before surgery and 27 since surgery ... I definitely consider myself a slow loser and am going to have to work for every ounce I have to lose ... how's everyone else feeling or doing?

My surgery was the same day. I was 402 on surgery day and today I''m 333. 69 pounds down and more to go. But I am happy with my results, as you should be pleased with yours.

      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!!
