Hi,

Kim, It must be a problem having a drain, most people don't seem to. You sound as if you are doing really well in other ways though. Such great news.

Janie, I am very lucky I am not on the milk or Fluid diet. I have been on the pre op diet for 3 weeks though and I am not hungry, just so bored with it. I have been feeling a bit lightheaded at times, mainly if I don't have the meals close enough together. Otherwise I am fine really. You poor thing it sounds terrible.

I am on Tuesday too, how are you feeling about it all? A bit scared? Wanting to get it done now? I am all of those things. I know I should be excited because people are but at the moment I don't feel that way.

We will be going through this together though!

Take care

Claire

My surgery is on the 10th Monday and I am very nervous and excited at the same time this is a new beginning. And I am going to ride along with the changes. I stated my liquid diet on 02/27 and it consist of 2 Protein Shake a meal with no starch down 11lbs as of 01/31. I want to wish you all well with the surgery and those who have had it already.

Good luck to everyone coming up this week!!

Today I'm feeling a bit better. Happy to be home. I tired sleeping on my side and it sucked!! I got a bunch of acid coming up and wanted to throw up!

Other than that it's all good. My incisions don't bother me at all. And all I really wanna be able to do right now is fart. But I guess my body wants to be a lady and burp it all out lol

Hope everyone is doing well!

Hey guys, it's been a minute since I commented. I have been struggling with this liquid diet!!! Feels like I'm dying of a slow death!! LOL he had me do a 2 week Protein Shakes and one meal diet. Since Monday I have been on pure Protein with Water and water only diet. It is a struggle. I'm cranky, irritated, mean, depressed and then all of a sudden I feel better. Such an emotional roller coaster, but I lost 20lbs thus far. Tuesday is my day and I am so excited to be able to have chicken broth!! Lolbvs anyone else have any issues with this liquid diet crap???? I know its necessary and trying to stay positive thru it all!! I just needed to vent!! ;-)

Yes!!! I only had a 3 day clear liquid diet..but....I felt like I was gonna snap!! The moods...ahhhh I'm such a foodie!! And a carb foodie at that! And now...my surgery was cancelled after doing the 3 days and....I have to do it all over again when my surgery is rescheduled....whaaaaaaaa!!! Ok I'm done whining...

Anyhow..... ;) I totally get ya!

Tomorrow is my big day. It took 15 months (12 being insurance mandatory wait) and I can't believe it is finally here. It feels surreal and scary. No liquid diet today (finally that is over) and just had Water all day. I hope I can sleep tonight. I just want this part over so I can begin my new life!

I'm struggling through my food stages.

I think all my esophagus issues are that I am taking too big of a drink.

Tomorrow I start creamy liquids and I don't have an idea what that really even means for me.

Hi Milliefuller,,

Ready as I will ever be I think. It will be nice to stop this pre op diet and get rid of these nervous feelings. Then we can all look forward to recuperating and starting our new lives.

Thinking of all those who are going today and the large numbers of us going tomorrow.

I will post again as soon as I can, I might be in HDU for one night, or maybe not. As soon as I can access my iPad again I will be on here.

Stay in touch and take care

Claire

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
