Hi ladies - I saw my GP today and I'm definitely diabetic, but he's not going to start me on meds yet since I'm on the pre-op diet. Since I can't have sugar or carbs on this diet, he says I should be fine. I just have to check my levels every morning especially the morning of my surgery.

Today has been so hard. I want food soooooo bad. It feels like day 1 all over again. Is anyone else experiencing this today?

I'm very sorry to hear this news Mimi. The good thing is, with your surgery so close, you might not be diabetic for long. Hopefully you can get by with just oral meds and then just diet controlled. I will keep you in my thoughts. As far as pre op diet, you might just be getting bored with not being able to have foods. It will be over soon my dear!

Thank you for the support ladies. I really appreciate it! Congrats on the 10 pounds Anali!

I'm down 12 lbs, but the past 2 days have been hard. I've been craving food and nothing is satisfying my hunger. My stomach has been growling for two days straight and I've had zero energy so I've had to take a taxi to and from work. Ughhhh 1 more week :(

Thanks babykins! I'm trying to. I feel like such a wimp. I've been through a lot with my health and I have to remind myself why I am doing this. I'm so grateful for this forum and all the support.

Mimi, I understand the stomach growling. I also have been hungry for 2 days. I don't know what it is. I am worried about the 3 day weekend coming up. That is a lot of time being at home. Anali, I hope your presurgery testing is going well. What did you have to do for that? I am waiting for a call from the surgery center to find out what time my surgery is next week. It can't get here soon enough if you ask me. By the way, how much time are you guys taking off from work?

I'm taking a month off. My surgeon said 3 weeks, my GP and neurologist said 1 month if I can take that much time off...so I did. I have a major neuro disorder so they are taking all possible precautions and are all going to monitor my rectory closely. This is the first time I've had a surgical procedure done since I had brain surgery in 2010.

How are you all doing today?

Mimi, glad you are able to take the time off that your Dr.'s recommended. Babykins, I am also taking off that amount of time. Surgery next Wednesday and will return to work a week and 1/2 later. I had a weak moment last night and ate 5 tater tots. I baked them for my son and a friend who was spending the night and before I knew it I ate 5. I was so disappointed in myself and they didn't even taste that good. I was so hungry and I should of made my Soup before I made anything for the kids. Today is a new day and I am back on track - still hungry though. Two protien shakes and a bowl of soup a day is not cutting it for me. I just keep telling myself that I only have 5 more days til surgery, I can do this!

I'm okay Anali. Very anxious. I'm not weighing myself until I get to the hospital on Wednesday. I have to be at the hospital at 6:15 (right across the street from my apartment).

What time is your surgery?

      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!!
