You mean literally a nightmare? I have had dreams and nightmares too. I think since it's so much on our minds we dream about it.

Hello August Sleevers- I am new. I have my surgery scheduled with Dr Lopez in Tijuana on August 23rd. My sister is meeting me in San Diego to go with me. I start the pre-op diet on Thursday. This weekend has been all about having my favorite last meals, and a couple of margaritas to wash them down. I too am feeliong a bit like "what the heck am I even considering doing to myself?", but the airfare is paid and so is my deposit.

My reason for having surgery is my health; loosing weight is just a wonderful side effect. I want to be around for my future grandkids, and if I don't do this, I feel like i may not be.

any one in the same boat?

Ok, so my new favorite pre-op shake is:

chocolate Unjury (1 scoop)

1 cup of 1% Milk

4 Ice Cubes

1/2 a frozen banana

2 tbsp of PB2 (powered Peanut Butter - only 45 calories, 2 grams of fat and 5 grams of protein!)

Combine in blender or Nutribullet (I have the bullet)

Enjoy!

Hope I can do this post-op at some point - maybe not right away but perhaps when I can have pureed food.< /p>

      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!!
