4 weeks from today!!! i start my liquid diet in 2 weeks. im thinking about gradually easing into it this week and next 1 meal at a time so that by the time Nov. 4 rolls around it won't be so difficult. also beginning to wean myself off of coffee. i things to look forward to both before and after the 18th, brad paisley concert 10th row on the 15th, 2 hour massage on the 16th, keith urban concert in January to Celebrate the new me, my first ride on my best friend's Harley next spring, as well as going horseback riding when i hit my 100 lb loss. these are my guideposts along the way to mark my progress and things to keep me motivated. my acupuncturist always says good health is a journey, not a destination. every journey has mile markers. what are yours??

Wow those are great goals!.

As to the short term: I started high Protein, 800 calories per day on Friday. I stopped coffee and alcohol. Coffee because if I don't start now, I will be a bear after surgery. Alcohol because I wouldn't be able to eat ...and it was advised, to help liver shrinkage. After two weeks I go to full fluids, still high Protein, with the last week as clear fluids. Are you supplementing Vitamins yet? I have doubled mine after talking with my doc.

My goals are pretty simple but one I think is interesting is my husband and I plan on hiking the inca trail to Manchu Picchu next year.

      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!!
