Hello All,

I'm sorry I've not been too active on the board. It is true that after you've lost all your weight, you suddenly have much less free time. This is a good thing I think. :(

Anyway, my revision surgery is Thursday with Dr Ortiz in TJ Mexico. I leave Wednesday morning at 6am (yikes) for pre-op. I am so glad to be getting it done. This last month I've been surprised at how much I've suffered with "last meal" syndrome. Things like fried pickles (my FAVORITE) I have a difficult time eating once I'm fully restricted, so I totally pigged out this last month. I've enjoyed the food, but I will enjoy having my 123lb body back much more. Its amazing how much more ten pounds does when you're at this weight. :D I figure the ten pound will easily come off during the month on liquids.

I went and bought a huge variety of liguid foods today so I'll have all sorts of things to choose from - which is VERY important. liquids get old fast as it is - if you only have Slim Fast it'll get old even faster.

Best wishes on you revision surgery; you will be back to loosen in no time.

I am a week away from my banding and I can't wait. Haven't gotten the "last meal" syndrome yet but I am sure it will come. I am just working on drinking more Water, taking tiny bites and eating slower.

Will be looking forward to your posts when you return from Mexico.

Good Luck...I bet you are still just as nervous this time as the first. The only difference is you know what to expect this time. Have a safe trip....

Corgi, you beat me to the question! Yes please, why are you getting a revision, did you have a slip?

Oh, and you have done amazing work. Your before and after pix amaze me...

Vines, Corgi, try doing a search on her name so you can read her story - yes, she DID have a slip (great story too).

Mae, we will be thinking about you. Come back as soon as you can and give details.

God Bless~

I caught this a bit late, so you're probably already out of surgery, but I hope everything went well and those 10 lbs fall off easily :)

You've done so well thus far, I'm sure everything will be fine.

      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!

      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        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!!
