I was finally able to sleep last night! I couldn't sleep since Sunday, the night before my surgery because of nerves and all sleep since then has been in short shifts bc of pain/discomfort but last night my surgeon injected a local anesthetic into the main incision site that was bothering me and I slept like a baby. it feels great to actually be rested.

Yayyyy on the sleep and a successful surgery. I am having a hard time sleeping tonight. I'm extremely sleepy but because I am super nervous my brain won't allow me to sleep [emoji31]. I'm just laying here watching golden girls and holding my son as he sleeps in my arms[emoji170].... Have you been getting your walks and sips in?

Omg me toooooo, lol. I'm legit trying to but my mind is not letting that happen for me tonight. I'm waking up at 6:30 because my surgery @8 and these nerves are getting the best of me right now. On top of having to go to the bathroom every 5 mins from drinking that magnesium citrate to clean my body out, lol.

I haven't had any trouble sipping at all and I'm now allowed to have up to 3 sips of Water or apple juice every 15 mins which is a big relief and helping me feel more like a human again lol. Walking itself feels good but the transitions getting out of bed or going back down are really tough and I still need some assistance most times. I'm 48 hours out of surgery at this point.

      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!!
