I have a pre op diet for 1 week prior to surgery. And all Clear Liquids on Easter. What was I thinking. Just kidding. I'm ready for this. The Easters is what got me here.

I downloaded a countdown clock app for my iphone. 1 month today! Whoo Whoo!!! Although, I just realized I will not be able to procrastinate and do the taxes on the last day since that's surgery day.

I've also started shopping. If you are looking for small (1oz, 2oz) size containers, search baby food containers. There is a whole world of people who make their own baby food which means there are a ton of container options. Glass or BPA free plastic. My Amazon wish list is huge!!!

I am April 15!!! Start liquid diet April 1. I am so scared I won't have the energy to work once only on liquid. Should be interesting

That's exactly how I feel! My job is moderately physical and I'm worried I won't have enough energy too!

I'm scheduled for April 14th... Possibly could be earlier if there are any cancellations. Under a month now and getting excited and nervous. Pre-op mandatory diet starts 3 weeks before.

I am hoping for a April/May Surgery date! Just finished my last psychology Appointment. Waiting for letter of approval!

I called the insurance company just to make sure they received everything. They did and it is being processed! Not an official approval but representative was very positive about it.

I have been looking at my schedule and going to request an April 25 date if possible...day after my last college exam.

I have no pre-op diet just the skills I have been learning and trying over the last 6 months. Smaller Protein focused meals every 3 hours drinking Water between only. Cut out everything sugar based and high fat.

I am trying to substitute Protein drinks as meals so first half of day liquids then solids in evening.

Good luck everyone...

      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!

        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!!
