My advice is to get it together right now. You will have to realize that eventually you have to make right decisions to keep the weight loss happening as well as staying at goal. If you can't fix it now it will be ten times harder once the honeymoon phase is over.

Good luck.

if it helps any, my surgeon doesn't require me to do any special diet before hand so you should be okay. Also congrats!! It's going to be here sooner then you know.

You will be great..Some surgeons don't even require it...Mine never even mentioned it before nor after....Best Wishes....Day one make sure they have our meds right when you come from surgery...Not morphine,,,It does not take pain away and have the nausea meds on deck 2...You will need them for a few days

My surgery date is June 24th. June 9th is my preop appt. Lately I've been having a funeral with food. I even made an appointment with my attorney to make a will for my 4 year old son. Am I being morbid? Obsessing over youtube videos pre/post too. So looking forward to the journey so why am I feeling this angst?

      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!!
