Surgery tomorrow. I’ve been strangely calm about this whole thing. Doing chores today and prepping for post op. My mom is coming for a few days to help with the kids. I’m over 20 lbs down from my highest weight. I really wanted to hit 250 before surgery but I weighed in at 252.4 this morning. I’m a little disappointed but I met the goal my surgeon gave me.
I'm jelly! Tell me all the good things when you can! I'm scared out of my mind.

Started at 2:00 est finally feeling less groggy and just got up for the bathroom for the first time. Pain is manageable but the gas pain! Oh my! I’m staying overnight so I’m working on my Water sips. Very sore tummy. I apparently also had robotic assist, that’s pretty cool!

Checked in at 9. Surgery around 1130. I didn’t become cognizant of time until about 5pm. Pain meds on board. Nausea meds on board. Using my incentive spirometer. Walking also also really nice.

Mine was also Davinci assisted. Must be becoming the new norm. Didn’t even notice until I was signing my consent. Looks like I might get out tomorrow morning. This has been going great. I’m recovering pretty quickly. They also did a hiatal hernia repair. I’m an RN and really just amazed the nursing staff is not just burnt out from COVID.

For those on here worried, despite what the media says, I have heard no talk of postponing surgeries.

Day 2 pain is under control. Feeling pretty good for just having surgery. Tolerating my post op liquid diet. They gave me some Apple Cinnamon tea. It is delicious. PS my hunger is really gone for now.

      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!!
