I really needed to read this post today! I am guilty! I am 6 days to surgery and I have been struggling with this liquid diet. My mind keeps telling me to eat everything you enjoy, cause you will not have a chance after surgery. I fell off today. :-(

I am going to get my act together! Surgery is next Monday 11/19 @ 7am.

I found out my surgery date a little over a week ago and everything is happening so fast!!!!

Keep me in your prayers.

My Surgery is scheduled for 11-27-2012. I woke up this morning and think I have sinus infections. I can get to doctor and get meds but is this going to have my surgery cancelled? Has anyone had this happen?

This is a lie, you WILL eventually be able to eat everything you are eating now, post op. Some of them won't be right away and some might be a few years out, but like anything - nothing lasts forever. Work on getting your head straight, this is a mind game! :)

You are in my prayers, for sure.

        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!!
