I finally told my kids' date=' my son is so positive and supportive my daughter feels like I should try another diet this will be a life change. I have issues with my health insurance from work. Pretty much they have told me do something drastic to bring down your BMI under 40 or you will not be able to afford the insurance or they might drop you. Because of 2014 Obamacare, I was very sick last year with a brain aneurysm, the insurance thinks it was because of being over weight. I think it was from taking 1600 Motrin and I have always had low blood pressure. Oh well, my surgery is scheduled for Sept 4th. UGH I am scared.[/quote']

I'm thinking of you and wish you the best.

I'm curious, because I see people blame everything on Obamacare and it just befuddles me. You got sick because of Obamacare? The insurance wouldn't have thought you would have gotten a brain aneurysm if you weren't overweight without Obamacare in place?

Is your surgery on the 4th, like mine? I sure am glad my doctor doesn't require that kind of pre-surgery diet! I just have to do three days with a couple of Protein Shakes, some Protein Snacks, and a dinner of 6 oz lean poultry or fish and 2 cups of salad greens with fat free vinaigrette. Then fast after midnight the night before surgery. Anyway, my sympathies. It is cruel and unusual punishment to make you do Clear Liquids before surgery when you still have your appetite!

I did that today. Not nearly as bad as I expected. Of course I started the magnesium citrate at noon, so eating wasn't all that appealing. All I could get down today was 1 clear Protein Shake, a bowl of broth, and a sf popsicle.

You'll get through. It's just one more sign the surgery is right around the corner : )

Not even clear Protein here. Sf Popsicles, sf Jello, and broth! Yes the 4th for me. 38 hour in fact!

      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!!
