So my preop diet is supposed to be 1200 calories and 45 minutes a day of exercise.... I'm failing... Did great 10 days and blew it ... I feel like crap and scared ... This kind of diet is hard for me... So if I can't do this how is the surgery going to be :-(! Feeling defeated...

1200 pre op is alot compared to most. How long does your preop last? I slipped on my preop diet as well and I told my surgeon, he laughed and said it was fine. It wasn't going to kill me or anything, just try to do the best that I could.

Yeah I know it's a lot but there's no set time... I have to lose 15 more lbs to schedule my surgery I already lost 15.... I wish I could just do Protein Shakes but I got yelled at when I did my normal Breakfast shake for the first 15 I lost.... They want me eating solid food to lose the weight... Ughhhh I need to get my motivation back!

Its not a big deal unless you make it a big deal. I did great preop for two weeks and then had a pre-diet binge two days before surgery day. Three months out and no binges. It won't always be easy. But you cannot give more weight to set backs than you do steps forward.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
