Recommended Posts

@MommaCEO I'm still here! Only 5 more days of the liquid diet. I'm battling wanting to CHEW something, but I've done really well! I did have some egg drop Soup on Monday, but I mentioned it to my NP, and she said I shouldnt have had it. :(

Honestly I've been on liquids since last Tuesday and I've cheated a bit. I've been eating deli turkey. If you need to chew I like crushed ice in my Protein and I tolerate Jello.< /p>

No more cheating today. 6 more days. I have to do my chest X-ray and EKG today, Thursday is dr apt and 3 hour pre op class. Busy week. I do t know if I have to do Clear Liquids right before. I've read some people do,

I'm down about 8 pounds.

Has anyone made a rewards list. My first five down I bought some shoes. Luckily they were on sale and Target.

I'm still here too. My last day of pre-op diet and it's killin me!!! last night my tummy growled for hours. I've been doing so many shakes that I'm actually tired of them!

To help with the CHEWING craving, I'm chewing Trident gum, dr. said that was ok... it seems to help me get thru the rough times. Tomorrow is surgery day and I'm kinda looking forward to a clear liquid diet for a while :)

I'm still around too, this had been busy week. Trying to tie up loose ends at work and train the person who will be working for me. my treat to myself is having a cleaning service come in and deep clean my house! When I come home, the house will be sparkling clean, yeah! 4 more days, have to be at hospital at 5am on Monday, surgery at 730am

Im June 5th and I only have to do liquid for the day before. I wish it was longer so I would avoid this food funeral I am having.

Best of luck tomorrow! We'll be thinking of you. Let us know how it goes!

I hear ya with being busy this week! I have about a month's worth of work to do by Friday, and I've been working late to try and tackle it. I wish I had a professional cleaner come to my house! What a great idea.

I'm also scheduled for Monday, but at 12:30. I almost wish it was first thing so I didn't have half a day to worry about it. Make sure to keep us updated when you are feeling up to it after surgery! I'll be sending positive thoughts out to everyone :)

12:30 isn't too bad. sleep in as much as you can ;-)

I hope the surgeon is an early morning person, lol. I will post as soon as I can. Don't guarantee it will make sense, esp if they give me the good drugs:) good luck to you as well. my emotions are all over the place- I'm at peace with my decision one minute and having second thoughts the next. I know in my heart this is the right step for me, but my head needs some convincing:). I've never had surgery, it's the unknown that scares me

Unfortunate we have at least 2 weeks post op with shakes. For me that is over a month of shakes only.

I'm planning to treat myself to having a cleaning service deep clean my house prior to surgery too. I think it will help me relax. Getting things wrapped up at work is taking all my time (budget season). 26 days till surgery for me :)

Rough day. Dr apt at 10:30, pre op class 12-3, hospital registration after then back to dr to pick up script they didn't give me, oh then to some specialty pharmacy to find they don't have meds in stock. All this and I was really hungry, woozy and downright cranky.

I'm trying to find someone to deep clean my house. I love that idea and I'm saving so much money nit eating right now.

I'm down about 8 pounds.

I'm going to wait a week after surgery to weight myself. I don't want to see a gain which will occur from swelling, fluids,etc.

      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!!
