9 days down on the liquid diet! Honestly it hasn't been awful, but it's tough when I have to cook for my family. However, I am supposed to get the bypass, but now I want to switch to the sleeve. Any thoughts? Maybe I'm just panicking last minute lol

I admire you still cooking for your family. I stay upstairs while my husband and son eat dinner and asked my husband to avoid cooking anything that smells good during my 2 week pre-op liquid diet. I give my son Breakfast, but later in the day I’m too hungry to be around food.

Hi everyone, I had my surgery on the 1st of March and am in the Protein Shake only phase until Monday. Looking forward to different tastes and textures. If you have any questions at all please feel free to ask.

I was a bit nervous before my surgery but thankfully it all went well. It took me a bit longer to get over the pain and feel mobile again, than I thought it would, but feeling better each day.

Hi ShaiMarie, I have known a lot of people to do the gastric sleeve first but then ended up having to do the bypass down the track because the sleeve wasn’t as effective long-term. Every person’s experience will be different of course and hopefully your surgeon can provide the best recommendation for you. All the best!!

      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!!
