I had bad headaches for the first 3 days of pre op diet. Headache went away on 4th day. I was very hungry on pre op diet. I had surgery monday 29th. I'm not hungry. Getting my required fluids is a job right now. Every day will get better and this is worth doing!

I'm really excited! Nervous, but that's normal. However, during this pre op diet, I keep thinking, "is there anything else I can do to make sure my liver shrinks enough? " Haha! Guess I just want to make sure that nothing prevents this surgery from happening.

We were at friends and had pizza everywhere!! I can totally relate. Hubby ate three pieces sitting next to me and I had to feed my daughter a piece. So hard!!! It's not the first party that I've had to use self control, so I'm def stronger than I was two weeks ago! 18lbs down ( started dec 19th.) one week until surgery!!

      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!!
