I got confused and originally thought this post was by you until I seen the pic, lol






I hope this doesn't happen often, I'll never be able to change my profile pic LOL


You’ll be able to change it. We just have to pay attention to the numbers in the name 😉

And I look forward to my REBIRTHDAY with an unbelievable amount of excitement. What a wonderous chance at a future, I vow not to squander a single second of it all!😛👍For all the 💦all the days of sorrow, of disappointment will be over and with my bright shiny tool I'll March forward into life, not looking fearfully behind but into the shiny sunlight of the future.
That is amazing! I love the thought of it being a rebirthday! I’m so excited for the both of us! July can’t come soon enough!

On your way to July 2nd! Are you on a liquid liver'-shrinking diet before your surgery. Oh I know you must be starting to get more excited! I still haven't got a firm date, thinking middle-ish, my son keeps telling me to keep the faith but down deep I fear another roadblock or something bad happening. I want this so bad, maybe more than they want to perform it? We will get through this together and Celebrate on the. other side of surgery, I have to tie a big knot in the end of that rope I've been hanging from and hold on for all I'm worth!

I’m so so excited! It’s just around the corner! I actually do not have to do a preop liquid diet for my program however I decided to do one myself. I have heard from others on this site that those who have the liquid diet before end up transitioning easier. It is definitely more difficult than I thought. Being at work with everyone enjoying their Snacks and chocolate has made it worse, but I’m sticking to it and I’m going to get through it! I’m anxious but so ready! Time went by so fast! And you are going to be right behind me!! I felt the same way, That I was going to miss something or something is going to stop my process! But nothing is and nothing will for either of us! I just had my preop class today and even got my soap for the night before and day of shower! That some how made it seem so real!! I can’t wait for you to join me in this process! We will help each other along the way! 💜💜

I wonder what OSU will do wi5h me? Well, yeah that's true, but I am bringing up a point. IAM ALLERGIC TO HIBICLENS. The last time at my last surgery I looked a cross between sunburn and acid burn and hurt! It felt,like somebody gave,me a rundown with coarse sandpaper. I know there are nurses,who have,worked surgery and a lot of other smart people. What to,the do,with a person like me? Do,i get,my mound of tummy painted with betadine or what? Pretty sure I don't have an iodine sensitivity. would have shoed up,before now, if I had. Feel free to scratch,your head on my behalf!!😖

      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!!
