Nice. Are you on a pre-op diet? Have you lost weight? I didn’t think I’d lose weight here on day 3 b/c on day one I actually had two tacos that were left over. So I figured it would take longer.
Yes! Did start, I lost 2 pounds I started wednesday! And im so tempted to cheat!! But i know I can't I have to control food not let food control me

Yea, people have said it gets easier. It’s not super hard for me until my husband gets home and is eating. Luckily anything I like he keeps hidden it it isn’t in the house.

Well congratulations, I hope when I see my bariatric Surgeon Tuesday morning I get such good news. You see I started on my bariatric trek in August 2015 and so very 😫. I just want it to be over so very very much. I have never wavered in wanting it, even when people said I didn't deserve it for many,reasons. I have heard I'm too old, in too bad a shape, too depressed, not committed enough, because I'm a widow, I'd have to go to the next big city instead in my town, by continuing to desire it I would knock a deserving younger person out of place, because I'm silly and foolish, because,God created me obese I'd make him mad, I selfish thinking,only of myself not the impact on the family. All these from people I once regarded friends or family. But guess what? I'm still going through,with it, I want,to do it for my health and a chance for a future. And if that makes them sad they'd better get a happy transplant cause I've had too much doom and despair around me to last a lifetime! When I get,my official date I will cry first and then Celebrate. If that makes me emotionally unstable, so be it!😪😛

I am so super hungry right now. I had “Head hunger” during the day but I’m so hungry my stomach is growling and I can’t get to sleep. Tomorrow is day 3 of my liquid pre-op diet. July 25th is my surgery.

Had RNY on Tues. Pain is much better (yay!) and getting lots of fluids in (yay!) but today I feel SO fatigued, like I cannot stay awake. I’m sure it’s a part of the healing process, just curious if anyone else has felt intense fatigue?

Glad you're doing well, I've seen others talk about the fatigue following surgery. Not surprised, you just had your plumbing totally rearranged! Thats bound to take a lot out of a person. Rest, give your self time to recover. Great job!

Yea, I’m on day 4 of my liquid diet. I’m a teacher on summer break. I just keep falling asleep. How does everyone get the energy to get up and walk?

      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!!
