Welcome, 5! So glad you are here! How is the pre-op diet going? All liquids, or does your doc allow some food? You hanging in there? I've heard day 3 is the worst.

I'm on day 8 of my pre-op diet now. It's a combination of medi-fast and liquids. I'm hanging in there, but I've had some VERY difficult days. I'm losing weight which helps make this easier to deal with, but the surgery can't come fast enough.

Looks like you are about two weeks behind me! Good luck on your surgery!!!

I wasn't nervous at all until I tried to go to sleep last night. That's when it hit me. I'm all set and ready to go now. Just waiting for 7:15 to roll around so I can hit the road! I'll still be early, but I'm excited!!! I'll post as soon as I can afterwards! Thanks for the well wishes!

I'm back home from being sleeved yesterday. As expected, they fixed the hernia I had. I'm still pretty sore and very sluggish. Having trouble getting my liquids down today as I'm experiencing the slime! No fun. Will try to figure it out tomorrow.

Good luck to those coming up behind me in the process.

      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!

        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!!
