Recommended Posts

I am so totally ready for this. I feel like I have researched this until I was blue in the face. I am confident this is the right step for me.... I am trapped in a fat person's body. I haven't felt like my self for five years. I want to dance, and karaoke again :-)

I can't wait for these 10 days to be up!! Im so ready to move on over to the other side. Its funny how these surgeons do things so differently. Glad to see others going in on the same day.. we can help and support each other.

We will definitely need to keep each other posted... I just found out I have to be at the hospital at 5:30am. The hospital is an hour away. This means I have to be up at 3:30 ouch!

I'm the 30th as well!! And I'm also doing a preop liquid diet (started Monday). It's my choice as I'm not over the 300# mark that is required by my doctor for a liquid diet.

I do Protein shakes (Chike, EAS Myoplex and Muscle Milk) throughout the day, but I need to get in more Water. I switched over to Silk Soy milk to hopefully help not get a lactose intolerance. And I allow myself 1 Soup a day just to get in some flavor and warmth. I haven't gotten the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury yet. Where does everyone get it from?

I've done a juice fast (nothing but blended up fruits and vegetables) for 10 days straight before, so this isn't too bad for me yet. Today was the first day I actually missed food - but that was only because I grabbed my girls a happy meal since we were running errands all day today. And no, I didn't cheat once (not even to lick the ketchup off of my finger!).

Wow mustangsherry that's really early...but it will all be worth it. The Cleveland Clinic won't even give a time until the day before. I'm with you though.. I have done lots of research and know the risks vs the benefits and I know this is the right decision for me. I have MS and my doctor said I will feel alot better after this too.

      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!!
