I am just 2 days away from my surgery and kind of freaking out. Where has time gone? 2 weeks ago when I started my liquid diet I was sure that time was gonna go as slow as a turtle. But nope it has flew by way faster then I expect for sure. I'm so Happy. I have stuck to my liquid diet for the past 2 weeks with out cheating and I even has to cook for my kids and Hubby and thought for sure it would be a challenge surprisingly it wasn't and I am so happy I was so strong and didn't give in or give up despite my hunger pains in the beginning. 1/23 @ 8:30 is my check in and im sure tomorrow will fly by I have a parent teacher conference at 9am dentist appt at 1pm My boys have a basketball game at 3pm and then I have to go home finish packing my kids to go to my mother in laws and then a tenant meeting for my appointments because I live in a gated community and then cook dinner and get my kids homework done and take everyone a bath and then its bed time. Busy Busy busy

No reason to freak out, you'll wonder where the time has gone post-op too.

Once getting into a routine its crazy, even though we needed it at this point, how much we hyperfocused on small things.

Best of luck on your surgery, you got this.

Oh my goodness, slow down!!! LOL Just remember to rest and get fluids after surgery because exhaustion and dehydration can really take you for a loop - you can be going along zippity do da and then bam - you are so tired and can't think straight. Good luck.

      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!!
