Cherry Ann,

My mother is coming to drive me to surgery. I am more worried about having my house cleaned than the surgery. No matter how old your mother is she will still tell you to "clean your room".

I had my surgery Wednesday August 1st. I was very scared and nervous coming in that morning. My surgery took. While becuse I had some scar tissue from
Where my gallbladder was removed several years ago. Over all I am doing amazing. Been drinking Water and a Protein Shake last night. My only complaint is that drain they leave in after the bypass. It’s very uncomfortable, and will be ready to get that out hopefully Tuesday!

Glad to hear you are doing well and recovering well. I’m at the hospital waiting and I hope I have those same outcomes!

This may be TMI so, let me say sorry up front. Day Five of this Liquid Protein and green veggies diet. Is anyone else on the liquid green veggies diet having some serious diarrhea?? Woke up in the middle of the night running to the bathroom and it’s all green. 😂 ewww. Then before I took my kids to camp again. I can’t keep eating green veggies if this is gonna keep happening. I will be stuck at home all weekend. It’s so uncomfortable using work bathrooms. I don’t use public bathrooms at all. I always hold it until I get home. However with what’s going on now, not sure I will be able to hold it. 🤦🏽‍♀️ ugh 😠 annoyed that I still have a 8 days to go.

Hi all :) My surgery is Aug 6th so I will be preparing the house and getting everything ready for me to come home to after surgery this weekend. I have been kind of nesting already if that makes sense. I just know I will worry about something needing to be accomplished if I don't do it all now. I think i'm more worried about that then surgery lol!

I felt like I was nesting, too!

      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!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
