Congratulations!!!! I love seeing people around my age getting banded! What a life changing experience! Thanks for sharing your surgery process... I wish I would have done the same when I had mine done. Keep us posted and upload some pictures with your progress. GOOD LUCK!! Main thing- NUTRITION! As you loose weight, your body starts loosing nutrition b/c you arent able to consume as much. I am currently taking juice Plus gummies (100% fruits and veggies) and I am so much more healthier than I EVER was before or even after loosing my weight. Here is my distributors internet site if you are interested- www.bparkerjuiceplus.com.

:tongue2: yes I will be taking measurements by friday...I dont like to check up on my body every single day...I mean I look in the mirror n see changes in my clothes n let other ppl compliment me but I just leave it at that. I jus continue doing what I have to do and check on that scale every 2 weeks because then it will hit me like "omggg I lost 10 pounds!" and thats all that really matters to me. Im just trying to get to 160lbs. Ill be going to get my first fill on friday so I'll kno how much I weigh then

      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!!
