I should have been on 2 week pre op diet but opted to calorie count- 1,000-1,200. After the first week my co-ordinator said since I had lost 5lb I could continue. I lost 9lb pre-op altogether. I ate right until 11.30pm the day before surgery( I didn't have to go in until midday).

If you've achieved a decent loss, I wouldn't knock yourself too much. I've only ever heard of 2 people go in for banding and the surgeon stopped the procedure due to the liver being too large/fatty. One of those was through here and the other was through a girl in my support group-the dietician had mentioned it.

Both of these could even be just hearsay. Tried hard from now on and have fluids every hour to help fill you up . Best of luck xx

You know what, to release the symptom of stomach disorders then, you should drink a cup of lemongrass tea. It is quite effective. In reality, the combination of anti-microbial and anti-bacterial effects in lemongrass can inhibit Helicobacter pylori and Escherichia coli. These bacteria are leading causes for some infections in stomach area. Also, consuming lemongrass may help people stay away from gastric ulcers, diarrhea, nausea and stomach aches. So let's try it when your stomach become sick seriously!

      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!!
