The night before gastric bypass surgery.



Recommended Posts

The long awaited day is finally here. So many thoughts running through my head. Thinking of a positive future where I am healthy and active. Also fearing that I will leave my 5 year old and 2 year old motherless. Aside from my husband and kids, I have told no one else about my surgery. Hopefully a year from today I will be posting about how successful the year was and how my life has changed for the better.

I m certain you will be just fine, you are going to be setting a good example health-wise foe your children. Don't be be blue @ blue girl I'm sure you are in good surgical hands. Sure,you can be a smidge fearful but you are doing a good thing, you will,have the chance to be the fun game playing mom who will be here to watch them grow up. Pretty cool isnt it?

Today's my Big day too. I too am leaving 4 kids and my hubby to go have surgery. At first I felt selfish but I always put them before my own want and needs and that's how I ended up like the because I neglected my own health in order to make sure they were always happy and healthy. For once I need to put myself first and I need to take care of myself in order to take care of them. I know it's hard to leave them but you're doing the right thing for yourself in order to have a good future for all of you. Good luck today sending good vibes. I will see you on the losers bench.

I am in the same boat you are. My hubby and I both have surgery in the morning. For the most part nobody else knows, including our kids. It’s nerve-wracking, to say the least! It’s all right, though, we got this! :)

      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!!
