Pre-Op Appt. Today..on Liquids 3 Days Now...



Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I had my pre op appt. today, it all went great! I am ready, willing and able! Whats killing me is this liquid diet...ugh...I am hungry! I must admit, for me the first day was the toughest so far for me. I had a family reuniom to attend, there was food galore and I couldn't eat a thing! I remained strong! It was tough, I felt like crying on the way home in the car. My stomach now is growling, making all kinds of noises, its not happy being hungry..

I kept thinking my surgery was on Monday, its on Tues. ugh.....

I need other hungry liquid people to give me a pep talk! I have lost 4 more lbs. but now I can't change my ticker again... :wacko:

I was also starving on liquids, I am now on soft foods or mushies.

My stomach hasn't stopped growling since my surgery 4/25/2012.

I could have fat free popsicles and fat free Jello on my liquids.< /p>

The Jello was the one thing that sort of filled me up.

Good luck to you on your journey.

AND remember the liquids don't last forever, you will move on.

Lilbelly,

Yes, I did loose most of my weight on liquids, pre-op and post-op liquids.

I started mushies last Wed 5/09 but I am trying to only weigh once a week.

I will know Wednesday night how I am doing on the mushies.

I have my first fill scheduled for June 5th. :D

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
