Worried About My Preop Appointment Tomorrow



Recommended Posts

I'm scheduled for surgery Aug 1st. My preop appointment is tomorrow, my doctor asked me to lose 15 pounds, I lost 11.4. I tried my best worked out every day sometimes twice a day at the gym. Kept a log on my fitness pal and stayed under goal every day. I had mostly Protein food and no junk, never drank my calories expect when I drank my Protein Shakes. Im so worried that this will still not be good enough. Please pray for me.

I think its enough. Especially since you have been exercising, building muscle. Muscle weighs more than fat so you probably have lost more than you think and gained some good muscles! No worries :)

Thank you I even got a print out from my gym that shows my check in times. I'm proud to say I haven't missed a day since we signed up. They should have perfect attendance awards at the gym.

I think you'll be fine. You can only control weight loss so much. It sounds like you've been doing everything right, so I can't imagine they will turn you away with proof that you've been complying with their instructions.

      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!!
