Guys! This liquid diet thing has got me ILL. Headaches, weak feeling, dizzy!

Day 3 and I feel like I should just sleep until march 3rd!

But--positivity makes the world go round--or at least that's what im telling myself. It's gonna be worth it! Who needs chewing? I'm not actually HUNGRY. I'm just blech.

I'm actually kind of sick to my stomach..but tomorrow's another day.

My doc was really casual about it. I went in 2 days ago for my consent signing and anesthesia consent. I said....when should I start? And he said..it's in 12 days...you can start now or tomorrow. And then he said...just no cheating the last 7 days. So now I'm thinking...was that a silent "okay to cheat" for 5 days? Lol.

I'm a worry wart so i want my liver to be as teensy as possible just so I don't get hurt lol. I have about 100-120 to lose for my own personal goal. I might as well hit the ground running, I guess.

My friend who has much more to lose was told to expect about 15-20 days at the end. And another person said he didn't have to do one at all except the day before.

Surgeons are super different it seems. I'm just gonna stick to mine and keep my mouth quiet while I mourn the loss of the cheezits in the snack bin at work. Haha

@@kaninag my physician told mr the length of the preoperative diet depends on your BMI. 35 - 40 is 7 days. Over 40 is 14 days.

I'm finishing week one of pre-op diet and haven't been feeling too well. I haven't been hungary but have mainly felt drained. Went to my pre-op class on Thursday and met the other five folks that are having procedures too. I go see my pirmary care physician this week to discuss changing meds and final pre-op exam. One more week to go!

I am scheduled for my sleeve surgery on March 9. I appreciate all the support from this forum. It helps to hear from those who have already had surgery and those who are in the process.

March 16th is my new date. I started this process in dec 2013. After a long 6 month supervised diet and all- my insurances at the time UHC, denied it. My doctor appealed it and won. But it was towards the end of the year, so I wasn't able to schedule it. Then the new insurance denied me bc they felt the WLS surgeon, NUT, and psychologist stuff was too old ... So then I had to redo all of those.

After all is said and done, with two insurance denials and two won appeals/resubmission. I'm slated for March.

      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!!
