Day 4 for me also. How are you doing? I've actually done better then I thought. Still early though..... I feel this is a great test to our determination and ability to change our eating habits for life.

I've done good. I do get hungry but it eventually passes after a little while. A week prior to this I did start drinking 2 shakes a day and eating about ½-¾ cup of meat for supper. I felt like I needed to do that to prepare me for the full liquid diet. I think it has made it easier. But I did eat a thanksgiving dinner lol. It was going to be my last full holiday meal so I couldn't pass that up. I drank some broth on day 2 but other than that just the shakes. I think I'm gonna stick with the Meal Replacement shakes. I'm glad you are doing well. I know you are as excited as I am. :D

I cut myself too back in November 4 my first surgeon appt to ween myself into small portions and new lifestyle too. Lost on that too. I agree it might be what's making this liquid diet easier. I also have up caffeine and soda. Even though I didn't drink much before. What type Protein Drinks are you drinking. I do prow tie shake premier vanilla or chocolate morning and dinner and a Greek yogurt at lunch. Gets me at 72 grams Protein. Also so excited.

I Have a question about H-pylori. my surgery is for the 29th but I tested positive for h-pylori. I'm on the antibiotics and I retest on the 23rd. What are the chances I could test positive again?

      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!!
