Wow we are twins separated at birth! I was prediabetic last summer and that started the ball rolling. Recently my kidney function has dropped and I have chronic kidney disease. They say I won't be able to raise that number but I can stop the decline. I have been exercising most of my life so would be happy to share my favorite activities. Check in for me is 12:30 with 2:30 lift off to a longer, healthier life. I'll be thinking of you and sending positive thoughts your way!

Wishing you the best. I hope your kidney function improves. I believe it will!

Tomorrow is the day before surgery so I’m on an all clear liquid diet tomorrow. Doing the shakes for the past two weeks hasn’t been that bad, but the thought of only apple juice for 24 hours does not sound amazing. Oh well.....here we go. :)

Hi,

I like things explained to me also for the reasons why, not just told, here do it.

I’m glad you got your answer.

Don’t be sorry, you are not late - arrived just when you needed to.

Take a deep breath, about a goal weight, take your time. I had the same nerves about should I be doing this, is it the right thing. All I can say is I somehow came to accept it. Because I’ve done my research on the Dr, I’ve struggled too long trying to lose weight on my own. I realise there is a lot to learn and plenty of things ahead that are unknown, however, just taking one step at a time. It was also helpful for me to listen to a lady on YouTube who documented her sleeve surgery. She went into detail and was intelligent and balanced about her approach. It gave a firsthand insight as to what it was like at each stage. I’ll find the link and add it on here for you.

there are movie vlogs on her YouTube ch.

wishing you all all the best @PurpleBloom

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply, @TheFlinstones (great name, BTW) :) I've watched her first video and look forward to watching the others.

      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!!
