Finishing up day one of 2 week pre op diet. Actually did ok. los of greens and Water. Really like the shakes but always have had ecclectic taste buds!

Nervous and excited. No doubt this is the best tool in my forty years of fat experience. The only thing that has given me hope!

Hang in there!

Hi I am new and I am an April Sleever! I finally received my date today April 29th! I have felt like I did not belong any where until today! So hello!

I do not have a Pre-op diet to follow just nothing to eat the night before surgery after 10pm. He also said don't gain weight. That's it. I was getting all prepared for a diet, but I think I'll go all Protein to get my body into ketosis about 4 days before surgery. I guess that's it. :)

Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

Hi everyone, my surgery date is the 28th at University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics in Iowa City, Iowa. Had my pre-op appointment today. Looks like the next appointment is surgery day. I'm feeling pretty excited so far, the nervousness has not set in yet. I am on a 2 week puréed diet. I have learned a lot from reading everyone's posts, thank you. Wishing everyone the best in your new journey.

      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!!
