Between the Drs and my health ins someone dropped the ball on the 12 of July they told me I couldn't have it on the 14 after doing 12 days on a liquid diet.< /p>

My new date is the 25 and this is my 3rd day in the liquid diet and this time is harder then the last

Maybe try adding more Protein Powder. Are you allowed to have liquid Soups such as egg drop soup/strained ? It is very filling.

You need to fight thru it. This is your first real test of your full commitment to your future. You will have head hunger after surgery, the best thing to do now and then is to keep busy. When your "hungry", drink Water and distract yourself. The more you focus on food the worse it's going to get. Don't give in. If you truly want this, you need to prove it to yourself.

Yeah that preop diet is rough. What kept me on it was the fact that if I didn't lose enough weight preop, that my surgery COULD be canceled (yikes!). Hang in there!

      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!!
