How's everybody doing? I'm definitely getting a little nervous about the surgery, starting my pre-op liquid diet tomorrow! Surgery is in a mere two weeks, I can't wait.

Does anyone have tips for burning off nervous energy/anxiety??

I hear you re the nerves. I haven't had a good night's sleep in the last few days. I have started walking daily for 30-40 mins, in preparation of my new healthy lifestyle :-) and that has helped a bit. Good luck with your journey!

Ugh. Totally bombed on the pre-op diet today. I wish my doctor didn't believe in them like other doctors. If I could starve myself successfully I wouldn't be in this situation. Debbie downer right now. Here's to a better tomorrow.

Hang in there sugarpop...I don't know which plan you're on, but I know from my own, it is tough. I've done a week of it now and the sugar-free Popsicles do help. Don't give up...keep reminding yourself it isn't forever and all for a great cause....YOU!

I have created a Facebook page titled August Sleevers if anyone would like to join.

A page or a group? Isn't a page public?

Wouldn't a group be better (private)? Maybe call it August Mexico Sleevers?

      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!!
