Congratulations! I also have a date of January 17th for surgery. I am getting excited but am also a little nervous. What does your pre-op diet consist of as my MD has not told me to be on one yet? I see him on the 7th and perhaps that is when they will go over that. Best of luck with everything.

Regular Jello, fruit flavored regular popsicles, or no sugar added fudgsicles- 3 or less a day

Milk, light yogurt, cottage cheese-less than 3 servings a day

Low carb protien shake-2 servings a day

and thats all they have on my list....i hope i can make it!!!! If anyone else has any suggestions....PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!!!

Congratulations as well. My surgery date is the 18th. I'm also 260 lbs. give or take a few pounds depending on the day. I'm nervous and excited as well.

I wrote a stent about the Protein shakes I'm taking and they're really good (in the thread, "what's your favorite pre-op Protein shake). I've not as hungry as I thought I would be and they're sugar free.

Keeping my fingers crossed for you. I hope these next few days go fast and that your recovery is swift. Hang in there.

      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!!
