Hi! He is doing great! He is really down about not being able to build his fire pit this year lol. I think he was hoping at 6 weeks he would be cleared to lift, but he found out at his 2 week Post op that from 6-12 weeks he’s restricted to no more than 20lbs, so he is really bummed about that.

Other than that, he is healing up very nicely!

Well I'm sorry about the fire pit, but glad to hear he is doing well. His health and well being is obviously more important... does he have any friends who might be able to help him?

No worries. You still have time. I lived off of ice chips, broth, 98% fat free cream Soups (strained!) and Jello the first week (when I could finally keep fluids down). You won’t need too much but maybe have a variety in case something doesn’t settle well. You’ll do great!!

I'll be putting a little bag together this weekend (surgery is tuesday). Chapstick is on the list. a book. my phone. and my going home clothes. my own fluffy sleeping socks. maybe a small pad of paper and a pen for thoughts and questions. I've asked people to NOT send flowers. I dont want to sneeze! Send me a card instead. or better yet, stop by in a few days and vac my house LOL

      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!!
