I'm getting nervous and not sleeping lately. I am doing okay on my pre-op diet. I may try frozen Jello too.

I'm having the same problem! Don't sleep very good and I'm completely emotional! And, every time my husband and kids cook something, the smell makes it feel like my big guts are eating my little guts! Lol!

I can't believe that this time next week my gastric bypass surgery will be done. I was very happy to hear today that my son will fly to Mexico to support me during my recovery time. I wish I could leave today. The diet has been a lot easier than I anticipated. I am not really that hungry and I don't have any cravings. I am sure that they will be back after I have recovered from my surgery. I have lost about 5 to 7 pounds during my first week. Not quite sure, because I didn't jump on the scale until about 2 days of dieting. Regardless I am happy with that. I have 110 pounds to lose and it is not going to happen overnight. Has anyone already had their surgery this month? I would love to know how you are doing.

Yes I'm on day 2 of 4x Boost high Protein and I'm allowed 1 small cup of Greek yogurt a day

I'm on day 5 and at a college football game. It's tough today, honestly. I get 3x Protein Drinks + sf Jello, popsicles and Water. Lots and lots of water. The 12th needs to get here quicker

Hi September Bypass Buddies,
I would like to know how many of you are doing the Sleeve versus the Bypass? I am a bypass on 9/11.
Cheers,

      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!!
