This seems to be happening a lot anymore on Bariatric Pal. Did you come to this decision indepently, did you decide it together or did a doctor bring it up first?

We decided that we both were going to have the surgery, but we didn’t decide to do it together until I came across another couple that had done it on the same day. When we asked our surgeon he was completely fine with it

Well I about half way through my Dietary Purgatory, I do hope this makes a difference in my livrr,like it's supposed to. I am supposed to be on 1000 calories, some days I go over to 1150, some days 850-900,hope it is still ok. Think it is because some shakes are 100, some are 160 and there is one 180 but the carbs and fats are,lower, go figure.
Today the shakes taste ungodly sweet, maybe dilute them half strength? You would think my rhythm would be perfect,but I'm humans sometimes I'm busy,and don't space perfect. Well we'll see what happens next.

      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!!
