To be very honest wat worries me is the Anesthesia part, I’ve never been through major surgery so yea that’s kinda my main concern. As far as pain I already expect that. Thanks for ur support

Oh ok that makes sense. They monitor you at all times and have a million things hooked up to you and you will be fine. As far as pain I really didnt have any i would call it more discomfort. I'm only 2 days out of surgery and I have to be honest I feel great and you will too😊

Surgery is 10/29 - I'm on day 2 of pre-op liquid diet. Carnation Breakfast packet with 1/2 scoop of Protein with 8 oz of skim milk - 5 times a day (3-4 hours) apart. I have to drink 64 oz Water, plus I can have sugar free popsicles and Jello. I'm using those as my "mid day" Snacks.

I'm a little worried about the weekend as this has always been my hardest time when eating.

Its definitely not easy but it's worth it. Just try to redirect your attention to something else when you get hungry it helped me. It will be over before you know it 😁

      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!!
