In approx 24 hours I will be getting up to go to the hospital. I think what I'm doubting the most is, this isn't like any diet I've ever been on. Weight watchers for example, oh ill use my extra points, or ill start Monday. Essentially there is no way to quit or cheat or start over Monday. So I need to tell myself, do this and do it well. Don't stop and for once in your life be healthy and happy! It's going to be tough but I can and will. Do this!

Preop diet starts today, just one more holiday. I've had 33 Christmas' I could enjoy it even more next year! My last supper was pops Cereal, as if I hadn't been last suppering it since Oct when this all started!

You will do great Ortega. I was sleeved on 12/19 and am loving it. I have no hunger, food has no interest to me at the moment, although I can't wait to be off the Protein Shakes and be able to eat some real food. Your new tummy will not allow you to cheat, and if you do it'll let you know. I wish you the best of luck and hope you have a quick recovery. Just some advice, roll your shoulders for any gas pain in the chest/back/shoulders...it helped me alot!

We will do great tmrw and for the rest of our lives!!!! Stay focused and positive! We must approach this like if not this then nothing else. This can't be just another diet!!!! If we do that we will never use it to our maximum potential!

      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!!
