Hey my gastric bypass family!

Boy what a rough day it was! Clearly my mind has to adjust to this new life style.
Im legit having flashbacks of junk food in my head. Which is embarrassing I know 😰

I’m just 3 days out of surgery. I haven’t did the number 2 yet,, which I don’t know if it’s normal?
But yeah I’m so sore, the surrounding of my incisions is turning a bit blue/green , cuz it was a deep cut so I think it’s just bruising.! But if somebody has an idea what it can be?? It would be welcome

Ofcourse to top that off, I have my period 😑

Well my liquids are harder today. Yesterday I drank 2 liters of Water. (I don’t do ounces, I’m from Europe! )
But today I can’t even finish 1 liter.
broth goes down well, yogurt too but the evening meal is a bit tough.

So yeah I’m just in bed. And hoping for a safe recovery!! The anti blood clot injections is really a pain too and also waking up with morning sickness 🤢 but if you take anti acid it helps right away luckily.

Well I’m gonna try to get some water down and if plain water doesn’t help , I must put something in my water like sugar free Syrup to get it down my throat , so to speak.

So far I don’t experience any regret. I don’t experience “fear of missing out on food” yet.

But I do get flashbacks of junk food and I still have the hunger in my mind while my pouch is clearly full.
I think it’s the lack of liquids.

Anyway I’m done rambling thanks for listening ! Maybe I will come back and talk about my surgery and explain more what happend for the people that think about doing it and still have doubts or fear of the pain cuz I was there!!

Anyway take care y’all. Xoxo

      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!!
