Glad to see someone else on for Oct. 8th. There area lot of Oct.7th and as matter of fact there are a lot of Oct fest people. You can look under Oct 7th surgery. Everyone on the sites are really nice. Wow my doctor had me start my liquids on the 26th. I had sort of a problem with my blood sugarsso I am 90% liquid lol.. I'd be glad to be your buddy maybe we can find some more Oct. 8th buddies. But like I said the October group is nice. And welcome

I am scheduled for Oct 8. I will have surgery at Fair Oaks hospital in Fairfax Virginia. I am getting really excited as the date gets nearer. Am finishing up my last pre op tests this week. See my surgeon Friday. Am not required to do the preop liquid diet, just watch what I eat before surgery. Looking forward to sharing experiences with all on this thread. Good luck to all having surgery on the 8th. Wishing us all a successful surgery, speedy recovery with few to no complications.

It is my day for my surgery as well. I am having the Gastric Bypass surgery and have been liquid with Protein at night for a week now. I saw my doctor yesterday and I told him how excited I am for the surgery. I can't wait as I am tired feeling tired all the time.

Congrats on your upcoming big day misstvb

The diet is okay, I'm not hungry but still have cravings for real food. I get Protein shakes, broth, sugar free Jello and popsicles. Only problem is a Migraine which could be non-related.

Are you getting enough fluids? That can cause the headaches

The fluids are a really good point, no I'm not sure I am. I'll keep track of them tomorrow as I didn't today.

Carry a water bottle with you and just sip it all the time. It should help

      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!!
