Welcome! There are several of us with surgeries on Tuesday. I know I'm having some nerves, too, and it led to some odd dreams last night!

Holy cow...I thought I was the only one having weird dreams!!!!!!! I hate being nervous because I am usually all in control of my feelings. I have read other forums and don't want to "grieve" food because I seriously won't grieve the fat that comes off!!!!! I guess I will lose my go to "comfort". However, I think what I will miss more are the family meals. How awful that we southern women tend to measure our success by how well people eat from our table!!!!!!

Hi- i am scheduled for July 29 in Plano, Texas by Dr. Cribbins. I don't have a pre-op liquid diet - just low fat/no fat/no meat diet. I have been learning so much from reading the posts. Thanks for sharing!

July sleevers, there are ONLY TWO main things you need to take to the hospital with you...... Your cell phone......AND some CHAPSTICK!!!!! Omg!!! And you will reach for the Chapstick before you reach for your phone!!! My aunt had to bring me some, It felt like HEAVEN gliding across my lips.... Just a lil FYI

Today I'm having "what am I DOING??" feelings. I've been on the pre-op diet since Monday and OMG. I'm starting to wonder if I'll ever get to eat again. Tell me, after you recover from surgery do you feel normal and happy when you have a meal? I mean, it can't feel like "and then I was never able to eat again". Right? Oh, man, this diet...

I started on Monday as well. Yesterday I was really having one of those "I'll never eat or have a glass of wine again" moments. We are all so different on these forums but yet so much alike. My sleeve is scheduled for the 8th and right now, I just want it to get here so I can start to heal. Best of luck to you!!!!

      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!!
