Just had my pre op with my surgeon. Usual questions and instructions.

I did ask him about the pre op diet and he said the ONLY purpose is to shrink the liver. He said "big boys" and some ladies get really fatty livers and it makes the surgery more difficult. He said the diet can shrink the liver up to 50-75%.

He said he didn't expect me (I am lower bmi) to have that problem, so that's good.

He also advised that I continue all meds after surgery (high bp, thyroid, asthma) just one at a time...no gulping!

I also got my surgery time for the 25th...7:30 am! I will be his first case, so am happy about that.

I start pre op diet tomorrow and have PAT next Monday. It's all happening very quickly now!

Good luck to folks for this week!!!

Where have you found sugar free fudge sicles?? I have found 'no sugar added' but no sugar free... Would love some chocolate!!!

It is funny how every Dr has a different formula for success(LOL)-- mine is pretty rigid but I'm trying to follow it as best I can. So far just have some trouble getting all fluids in for day (min 60 oz).

I got my sugar free fudge sickles and pop sickles at Aldi's!!! Cheap and good!

      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!!
