My surgery is 7:30am on 3/23. I was so excited for months but am now officially nervous. I know this is going to be such a huge change for me. And I don't do very well with change.

Just take it one step/stage at a time. Remind yourself you can do anything for a few days and break it up that way. I have severe anxiety and don’t do well with change either but had surgery the 9th and am currently on the purée stage. (It’s two weeks so I broke it up myself by saying I will have the eggs after one week just to have something to look forward to. You CAN do this. If I can do it, you can 🤗 keep up talking about your feelings on here too. There is a great group of people here full of support that will get you through.

@JazzyJess20 I also struggle with change. Remember why you started this journal and all the goals you have for yourself. It will not be easy, but you can do it.

Soon the pain goes but the fatigue continues for a bit. I look at it as a good thing since we heal while we rest. I will be two weeks post op on Tuesday and I am still taking naps. Several since I am a light sleeper and don’t get as much as I need the first time but I don’t have to work and no kids so I am lucky enough to be able to. Just have a huge mess of a house to clean once I’m up to it from hubby being left alone for two weeks. Bless his heart but he is no housewife.

      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!!
