I am home. Surgery was yesterday and I am feeling okay. They filled me with gas to be able to see everything so I have a little discomfort from that. Burping helps. My incisions are very small and glued together so I am hoping for no scars. Im really glad its over and just concentrating on taking all the medicine and drinking lots of Water.< /p>

Anyone else struggle at times with the preop liquid diet? I was so into this in the beginning when I was taking all the classes, but somehow the long wait between my last preop class and now has made me a little out of touch with the surgery and excitement. It still seems forever away and yet it is Monday. I struggled the first 3 days and cheated at times with the liquid diet, did awesome days 4-6, and today the headaches started again and I cheated and stole a couple fries from my son 's lunch. I fell like if I want this so bad why can't I stick to the liquid diet for 10 days? I am not hungry. It was the headache this morning and my son throwing my iPhone across the room and smashing the screen and popping it off that sent me over the edge to steal the fries. Any tips?

Well I made it to the sleeved side! My surgery was yesterday. I was in a drugged daze the first part of the day but they like to wean you off and on to intravenous Tylenol. That worked ok. Of course I got home and popped a pill! I'm sore but feel way better today. I just keep thinking I only have to go thru this once!

I'm scheduled for July 18th, 2014 in Mexico. I've had about a dozen friends who have gone to Mexico and had a wonderful experience. Price was something I could afford. I'm on my 10 Protein liquid diet. Let's just say it is kicking my butt...LOL!! I'm excited, nervous and I would be kidding everyone if I said I wasn't scared. This is a lifestyle change that is forever. I'm so glad a found a forum that I can follow and can help keep me inspired.

Hi Tricia, I'm also on the 18th, in New York. I am on the 7th day of the liquid diet and struggling through. I wish you all the best next Friday.

M4buf I think I might be stealing fries too if my son threw my iPhone and broke it.

You can do this, we are in this together. I don't have a 10 day liquid diet, just one day liquids. Don't beat yourself up.

The best decision you can make has already been made. This is not the easy way out, it's hard and we will work hard at it to go where we could not go before. The liquid diet is supposed to give your liver a cleanse and a break from the work it has to do, so any help you can give it will be appreciated.

Hang in there, and get a new phone GF!

Oh girl im on day three and just cant choke down more sickly sweet shakes. Gross. Need this two week hell to be over. But its all worth it and its giving me tjme to think about why my cravings are happening and how to deal with them. Im not hungry now the shakes are very filling.

      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!!
