Karmen, looks like we will be close together. I’m the 24th! I just had my covid test today. Man that was not fun. I have a deviated septum which made the left side (small side) burn. I wish you all the luck!

Hi Jessica, how is your mom doing?? I’m still a little sore and sleeping a lot, but working hard to get my Water and Protein in. The hardest part of having surgery done in the time of covid was that my husband had to leave me at the door, I was heartbroken. Thankfully we are past that and moving forward! Thanks for your message, it really made me smile!!

Today is day 6 of my liquid diet. Somehow I had a stall from yesterday to today on the weight loss, but I did just start my period a couple of days ago, so probably because of that. Surgery in 9 days!

Won’t be long now!!! It has started to get easier and easier. Thankfully. 😂

Tomorrow is the big day! I’m ready and nervous. All the things I’ve been saying. More for the fact that the hubs can’t be there with me, but it will be okay! Especially because it’s outpatient.

Hoping tomorrow goes by fast!

Well I am officially 7 days post-op. I took a big hit from the anesthesia. An extra day later I am home doing okay. Trying to reach my goals and wrapping my mind around the future.

      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!!
