Welcome to the pumpkin Patch!!!:rolleyes2: We are smashing pumpkins around here. That is fast! I hope times flies for all of us before our surgery. I am still trying to learn as much as I can. There are some good books out there too. I love these boards. I wish I could spend the whole day on them!

Does your birthday have to be in October or just your surgery date? My surgery date is October 3 but my birthday is in November. I have less than a week now before I am banded. I am soooooooooooo excited.

Thanks Bridgette. It seems like time is slowly passing by. Next Friday is the big day. I have already got all my Vitamins and the food I need after surgery. I have a bag packed just in case I have to stay over night. But I am optomistic, I'll do fine and I will be able to come home the same day. I have been doing everything I am suppose to, to get rid of the "liver fat". I can't wait to get rid of "ALL" the fat. I have been on my pre-op diet for a week now and I have already lost 8 lbs.

Well, it's Saturday and I have chores to do. I'm trying to get the house all clean, so I won't have to worry about next week and after surgery.

      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!!
