Yep. Not often though! I've kind of stopped immersing myself in the bariatric forums and discussion topics. I found I was obsessing a bit. Now that recovery is pretty much done I'm just living normally, with smaller portions. Still getting my head around things though. Based in Hamilton now :D.

Oh good! It's good to know there are still some Kiwis kicking about [emoji4] I'm up in Auckland, but surgery is July 4th in Hawkes Bay.

Congrats on making it through Cam! And hello Berrybaby!

Thanks, it's the best thing I could have done. I'm around 70KG lighter now and still unlocking life. You have an exciting journey ahead, all the best!

Wow not long to go now. How's your preop diet going? I've just started mine. I would love to hear how it's all going for others coming up to surgery too.

Thats so great!

i have had my first day of pre-op diet today. it went really well until I got home and ate all the things I'm not allowed because I was starving hungry! Like seriously i wolfed back cheese and a can of tuna how random is that?! I think the next 2 weeks are going to be seriously tough for me. Awesome to hear youre doing well though :)

I hear you. Haven't been a saint. I like things that crunch. Resorted to a couple cruskits in the last couple days and grapes (none preop diet items) but still losing.

How long have you been on the pre-op diet? I am so excited to see how much I lose over the next couple of weeks. I'm really not a fan of the Optifast though I will be looking forward to getting back into real food post-op

I've been on for a week and a half. I'm using 2 Celebrate shakes a day and 1 Protein (100-120 g) and 2 cups veggies at night.

      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!!
