As my first day of pre-op diet starts today, a movie quote keeps repeating in my head: "This is crazy. This is crazy. This is crazy." :-)

Anyone on this Oct 2012 thread also on "my fitness pal"? If so, feel free to add me as a friend: ANewMeAt42

Good Luck & speedy recovery wishes going out to our 10/1 OctoSleevers who start the rest of their lives tomorrow. See ya on the loser's bench!!

Which makes me wonder: Which one of you will be the first to start a new thread called: "2012 OctoSleevers Loser's Bench"?

Hi all, my date was moved from October 15 to October 8. Surgeon is dr. Leslie and I'm still having a DS. Nervous, excited... Doing some last minute shopping and having a food funeral or two today. I don't have a liquid diet. I have lost 34 lbs preop. Surgeon says that is why most drs require preop liquid diet is to have proven weight loss. He required weight loss of 5-10 percent before surgery is even scheduled. Good luck to all!

Totally random and off topic, but I can't get over how strong and long my nails have become since getting off junk food and adding Biotin. I'm going to paint them today even tho I will have to remove the nail polish Tuesday morning when I go to hospital

      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!

        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!!
