By this time tomorrow I will officially be on the losers bench. Had my last real meal yesterday at 5pm, started Clear Liquids this morning and planning to record myself gulping down my last glass of something (juice, Water etc.) at midnight since I won't ever be able to drink that much at one time again.

Then its just the waiting until its time to get ready to head out the door.

I'm as ready as I'm going to be, but I will tell you that Walmart was not the place to be today. I had to go shopping before tomorrow but I didn't realize how many tasty new things are out on the market...ha ha.

I made it through and now I'm finishing up the last of the clothes so everything will be done.

I can't wait!

But I can't really complain, today is the only day of preop that I had to do. Enjoy your meal....I sure did!

See you on the other side.

I'm being sleeved at 9am tomorrow. 5 days of clear liquids....who am I kidding? I've cheated every day. But less and less each day. I will really kick myself if my surgeon won't sleeve me tomorrow. But this is the 3rd preop liquid diet I've had to do. The second one in 2 months and it doesn't get any easier. My head is pounding right now and I'd sell a kidney for some cheese fries with ranch from Outback right now. What is it they say? "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels?" Right now... I think whoever said that has never been on clear liquids for an extended period of time.

I am on day 2 of my pre-op diet currently and my last meal this past weekend was wings and fries plus a sundae. I couldn't decide on a last meal and now think back and think oh Chinese, pizza, bar-b-que. lol

      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!!
