Another August 6th here! I've been doing low carb this week trying to prepare myself for the two week liquid diet that starts next Tuesday. Not looking forward to that one bit!

Wow! 8/6 is gonna be a busy day! Congrats on your date. I've had mine (8/6) for about 2 months and that's a lot of time to percolate on it. Thank God for this board.

The chairs side note is cracking me up. I bought a beach chair at the grocery store ( cheap last minute beach trip). Worried I would break it, and once I got in it could barely get up and out! Those days are soon to be SO OVER!

... Did any of you have a last meal of those foods we are not supposed to eat post-op?

I've really misbehaved with allowing myself to eat everything and anything I won't touch after the surgery. I can only pray that I am as disciplined as I hope to be afterward.

I'm having mine on august 5th, only one month after my parents offered and we all together found out about this fantastic surgery and all its benefits...how craaaaazy i feel so unprepared but yet couldn't find a better moment to do it. i'm young (so less chance of extra skin), not too far in my weight gain and still have a couple weeks before school starts again. geez i am nervous and excited at the same time.

I'm doing mine on August 6th in TJ (Mexico) at Mi Doctor (staying at the Marriott). My husband is going with me.

This pre-op diet is KILLING me. On my 3rd day. Supposed to do 2-3 shakes plus small dinner of lean protein+salad. I have a constant head ache. Had 1 Migraine. The Protein Shakes make me want to vomit! I'm cheating by adding sugar-free Jello & chicken stock to the mix. Ugh.

It will all be worth it in the end. :)

      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!!
