Well I’m scheduled for sept 8 and I wish my husband was more involved I been doing a lot of researching watching videos and reading books etc... sure my husband came with me to the seminar but I can’t get him to listen to me about the journey after surgery he thinks by listening to the seminar he knows it all and the rest I’m over reacting. He cares more for his mutt then he does me so this journey I’ve started is all me and I’m very proud of how much I’ve done on pre-op diet I went from 306 lbs. to 288 but I still have to weight myself Sunday I’m hoping for 280 but wait and see. But hopefully everything will turn out great one day at a time. Gl sept. Surgeries

Tarotcardreader it does get easier mind over matter you have to really realize you need to do this I really didn’t start getting hunger pains til this last week of my liquid diet and it’s not everyday if I feel hungry I go have a hot cup of broth or tea and I feel better just tricking your mind having something hot is what helped me

So I had the Gastric Bypass yesterday and Tbh my pain has not been too bad. I am on a shake and Water diet for 5 hours until I can get sent home and I’m not gonna lie it is kind of hard to get them down within 15mins of each other because you will feel full. Then in between that I have to walk. But I was drugged up after surgery for a quite awhile. But so far not too bad at all! Also I see someone asked about how long for Clear Liquids. My doctor is making me do two weeks of clear liquids and shakes then my diet will advance.

      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!!
