This is my first time joining a Bariatric Support group. I would LOVE to have an accountability partner. If anyone is interested. I am close to 4 years out. Have lost 115 lbs, recently regained 15-20. Don't have anyone currently to be accountable to. Want to nip this thing in the bud before it gets any worse.

Hey guys!!! It is hard to believe that we are almost there. I was looking at my calendar last night and I was like holy crap there are like 4 1/2 weeks left before surgery. I just my bloodwork done and I have to redo some of them. I had blood in my urine and start Vitamin D. Since today was easter, I over indulged big time. It was kind of like a food funeral. So weird. I have found myself thinking of all the foods that I want to eat before I start my two week liquid diet prior to surgery. This is to shrink my live. I guess my clinic requires all their patient's to do this. So really it is 2 1/2 weeks before I start preparing for surgery. I still have to go to my pre op appointments. That includes the PA, nutritionist again, and an exercise guy.

I have found myself being more motivated to get outside and going for walks. I took my poor little dog on a 2 hour hike yesterday and boy in my back and hips yelling at me today. Oh well. I was really talking to my dad about this whole surgery thing today and about my liquid diet and he was like you aren't even going to need surgery. At the end of your diet, you are going to weight 130 pounds. LOL, not quite dad...

How are you guys doing? Are you getting prepared, nervous, scared, second thoughts?

I am feeling more focused every day. Went out with my brother and we ended up at Outback for lunch, I could have splurged big time, but ended up having the grilled chicken breast, steamed vegetable's and a Caesar salad. I am already asking myself "is it worth it" food questions, Weird...... :wacko:

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
