Good morning bariatric pals, I am sitting at the hospital waiting to be called back to start my new journey. I'm so excited and can't wait until this part and the recovery is over. I'm praying for my other surgery buddies who are also having surgery today.

Prayers all goes well for you today and beyond! One step and a time. Be kind to yourself and don't rush recovery. Telling you and reminding myself of all of these things. I'm scheduled for later this month.

Good morning James Marusek. Everything went great! Even better then I expected. I walked to my door and sat for nearly an hour yesterday. I just had my first sip on my phase 1 crystal light.

Hi surgery buddies, sorry it's been a while since my last post. Day one following surgery was great then day 2 went a little towards left field. I had my 1st bm and it was total blood which continued for the next 2 days. My hemoglobin dropped to low and I had to get 2 pints of blood. My energy dropped also and I was only allowed to sit up for a few minutes periodically. During my surgery they noticed an embilical hernia that they repaired and somehow it was partially entangled with my intestines. It appears that I was losing blood in my intestines but it stopped on its own without me having to have more surgery. I finally got discharged yesterday February 10th(which was the 1st anniversary of my husband's passing so I was mega glad to be back home with my family). My surgery journey was more then I expected but I have great hopes for the rest of my recovery process and my new me. Thanks everyone for your prayers and well wishes.

      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!!
