Tomorrow is surgery day. As I pulled into the parking lot this morning I could hear the Annie song in my mind "The sun will come out tomorrow..."

You will do great!! I just had mine this am

at 8:30 and so far So good! Pain is manageable and only slight nausea. Think they gave me a lot of meds and a nausea patch behind my ear that lasts 72 hours. Very sleepy and groggy but SO grateful to be on the other side of it. 🙏🏻🙌🏻☺️

Be sure when you remove the patch behind your ear that you either wear gloves or wash hands immediately. Keep out of reach of children or pets.
So glad you are doing well! Keep walking and sipping! The patch will make your mouth feel dry. Just brush and sip.

Anyone in this April group have Fibromyalgia too? Wondering how your energy has been, mine has still been really low. (Surgery 4/14)

I’m 16 hours post op and doing great. I’ve been sleeping a ton but I’ve managed to get in quite a few laps around the ward. I should go home later today.

      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!!
