My surgery date is Jan. 5th. I'm scared as I could be! Pre-op starts next Sunday the 21st. I think the reality is setting in!

Hello

Good Luck I was scheduled to have the gastric sleeve surgery on Thursday, (12/18/14) but didn't lose the required 10 lbs. I had a set back. Please advise me what does your pr-op diet consist of. I did the sugar free Jello, pudding, exercised, and sugar free pudding. I had a weigh in yesterday and was very disappointed. This is my second delay. I have been rescheduled to go back into the doctor's office on Jan 5th. Help I want to have this so much. I was so looking forward to having it this week. I started the process at the beginning of the year.

Help, Help, Help. I have become very depressed.

Mine is also scheduled for Jan. 5, 2015!! Twenty-one days to go... Isn't it a great way to REALLY begin the new year? New Year:NEW BEGINNINGS!! ‼️THIS IS THE YEAR‼️ No more "Ooooh, that looks/sounds delicious. I'll try one (or seven)..., followed by "Nah, I give up. I can't do it." Look how far we have all come in 2014!!

Yet, I know my own anxieties are knocking on the door to that vault in the brain, because I haven't brought my * Goddess Sized* clothes to a consignment store, Salvation Army/Catholic Charities, or given them to friends.

I keep telling myself *Yeah, keep this/that/the other (summer and fall clothes) to give her, and her, and her,* when that thought is really that old comfort-zone frenemy - "Giving In to Old Habits" - rumbling around back there. Those old, longtime learned behaviors are difficult to dispel, no matter how resistant some are to change.

Congratulations, and I will be thinking of you on Jan. 5th.......pre anesthesia. Yay to all of us!!!

I got a date of January 5th too, but the lady at the hospital told me she is gonna call next week or by the 29th with a definite time. So when she calls back with a time that's when I start my diet. It's so real right now!!!!

      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!!
