Ok you guys....18 days and counting. Looking forward to pre op diet because it will be official then!!! I seem y doc on Monday to go over the pre op test results and I've been stressing about them a bit. I have really been taking care of my "head hunger" and dealing with it...i've been of soda, sugar, bread, walking more and drinking plenty of Water and I'm already down my required 12 lbs...BEFORE PRE OP DIET!!!!!

Funny how much better I already feel. I used to take a nap everyday because I was always so tired but now, I have more energy and don't nap. I wonder if it has anything to do with much fewer carbs???

Monday, I also see my new therapist for the first time. She has worked with bariatric patients before and I want everyone on TEAM MEG I can get....I went to a support group thursday night, talked to many people and got phone numbers...So, are the rest of you all excited??? What's going on with you guys??

Take Care,

Meg:biggrin:

Hi Megg, where are you in FL? I am in Ormond Beach, near Daytona on the east coast. I don't have to do the liquid diet except for 3 days prior to surgery and even than, its full liquid. I am so excited! I'm going to MX for my surgery so my anxiety is the plane trip back home. That is the only part that I would change if I could.

      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!!
