This was not a easy way out. This surgery comes with its ups and downs. I just had mine on Tuesday and I want this to be over already.

The "Easy way out" would have been to do nothing except what we had already done over and over and continue to fail to lose the weight or worse to drop it and gain it back repeatedly. The end result would have been an early grave and the "easiest way out"

congrats on your brave decision to get control of your life and dont let anyone or anything take that control away from you again.

I’ve had all these comments before. It’s not the easy way out. It takes a lot to do SOMETHING to take charge of your life.

Hope you continue to feel better day by day. I was sleeved Wednesday, yesterday was painful. Today should be better. . . . Right?

I want this part to be over too. I feel like an invalid. Good news is I do not feel like eating anything. :D

Hehe. I was the same. I had my op lunchtime Wednesday just over a week ago and didn't feel any hunger for the first few days, and only slight hunger before I came home from hospital.

Why do patients even react to this "the easy way out" stuff? Why even bother? Is the opinion of some other person really that important? Is there something wrong with an easy way out so lots of patients are so upset about this and get defensive?

But then again... I'd somehow really like to see someone showing off the belly IRL like the OP does on this picture. :D (as if, lol)

I'm not upset or defensive. I just really want to flash my battered belly to the world so they can see this is NOT the easy way out.

I am sure people from the outside think it is easy bc we all are so AMAZING and STRONG while we go through this process. It is our fault they think it is easy bc we make it look effortless. :D

Thank you and you do the same. Yesterday I was a old lady walking around holding my stomach and bent over. I rold my bf I needed a walker, lol. This morning is much better Im moving a little faster. Yes today think positive thoughts and walk and pass gas as much as possible it helps,lol. I never felt so good to just pass gas to relieve my back pain. Sorry TMI but its true.

      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!!
