Well done to everyone who has gone through surgery. I promise it will get better and it will be worth it. Remember don’t sweat the small stuff.

Anyone like to talk? My surgery is in 4 short days...... Sleeve to RNY.....aaaaagggrrrrhhhhh.... it’s going too fast and too slow at the same time. Nervous happy scared, nervous, did I say nervous? Would love to chat like by phone? Anyone who has gone through this or getting ready to? If so please InBox me and maybe we can pick a time and just talk. Family is wonderful and all, but they can’t possibly understand how one needs to Psyc up to go in for this. But you all do. Anyhow, just in need of a buddy or two or ten :)

I’m having my sleeve surgery on August 28th, just a in few days . I started my liquid pre op diet yesterday and I was doing well until I got up this morning vomiting my brains out, so bad I wound up in the ER , they told me I was having caffeine withdrawal because I didn’t wean myself. Has anyone experienced this? By the way I’m only having my Protein Shakes, Jello, ice pops , broth and Water. Can I have plain yogurt?

Never had @bubula but then again I don’t do caffeine and only have 2 day pre op diet. 1. Mushie and 2. Liquid with bowl prep. These things are so different... go figure :/

all LL I can think is good thing you are withdrawing now and not cold turkey post surgery

Hi Chris - thank you hun I appreciate it. Surgery went well, I’m in recovery now. Shared room which sucks lol. The pain is not fun... they need to give me something other then morphine. (Morphine has never really did much for me anyhow). Hoping this subsides soon though

      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!!
