Just keep all reasons you started this journey in the front of your mind and keep reminding yourself you are worth it and deserve a new life without the barriers that morbid obesity put in front of you.

Don’t forget to pick up your post op medications, your waters and shakes.< br>My son prepared my gel with my Protein Water and that helps.
One super important thing “walk” and breath as your doctor and/or nurse suggested. Tomorrow I will have a week anniversary of surgery I did not suffer gas problems nor nausea and already without pain medication.

Hi

i prepare mini ice cubs of Isopure zero carb Water, I also use Isopure cold water preparing my Jello. Before surgery I taste each flavor in order to know the smell and taste I liked it.

And prepared my room with some liquids at night stand.

my doctor gave medication for after surgery and I picket it up from pharmacy before my surgery and made a list with instructions, I put numbers in my list related with numbers I put at each medical bottle.

Make sure you have your liquids for pre and post op... don't forget the sugar free popsicles! A friend have me a bottle of Biotene and I was so happy she did. After surgery you tend to have dry mouth and lips so pack some ChapStick! Breathe and relax. Before you know it, its over. Afterwards, walk, walk and walk even if you don't feel like it. You can thank me later!

      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!!
