Hey all, I've created a topic in the "post-op" sub forum ( February 14 post-op losers) for those of us who have moved to the other side AND for all of you soon joining us! That way we'll have a long term place where we can ride this journey together.

Hi Erin,

A bit apprehensive really. They have changed my surgery time till lunchtime. I am still first on the list but it starts later. Apparently i will be in HDU overnight too which i was not expecting. All a bit discombobulating!! I will post on here as soon as i am reunited with my phone and iPad.

Thanks so much for asking. I hope you are ok and now having more to eat. You sounded like you were doing so well, you and Kim.

I will be back here soon nd thanks again

Claire

I started my new job today and had a great day. I was taking too big of a sip and that was why I had all the discomfort.

I am thinking of you. You'll do great. I can't wait to hear more about your journey!!! It is a lot to take on and I know you're nervous. But the new healthy you is going to be worth it all!

Claire- sorry your having to deal with the schedule change. They cancelled mine today due to my doctor having a personal emergency. Offered another doctor in the practice in his place, so still on for 11 in the a.m. Many blessings for a safe surgery, I'm ready and hungry after having clear liquid all day.

Well, I got the news I was hoping and praying I wouldn't get today. I am not a match for my brother so I can not be his bone marrow donor. I was so hoping I would be. Luckily we still have three other siblings to get tested and hopefully one of them will be his match. Very down this evening and I come home to my husband making white chocolate, macadamia nut, coconut Cookies. What torture. I broke down and ate two. Now, I am leaving the kitchen for the rest of the night.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
