Haha I completely understand! I was the same way about the certain thing. Lol. My date is the 20th and I'm on day 2 of the liquid diet. Good luck with everything!

How are you doing? I'm finding the liquids to not be too bad!

So, I had my preop appointment on Friday, and the doctor said nothing special for preop, just nothing to eat or drink after midnight the night before. I'm diabetic, so must eat a light meal before bed. I know like almost everybody has a preop diet. But I should listen to my doctor, right??? I got all the tests run, got my body wash for the three day wash prep. Now I wait. Four more days!

You can do it! You should definitely listen to your doctor. Everyone's doctor had different requirements. You'll do great! :-)

Surgery date 04/20/2015! Been on pre-op diet for 8 days now. Not to hard. Had an EKG on the 9th of April at the Hospital I am having surgery. My primary Dr. called this a.m. to tell me there was some concerns with my EKG and wants me to have an echo-cardiogram (ultra sound) because with out this he will not release me for surgery. He could not be sure if he could get me scheduled for this in time before my surgery date. I cried when I got of the phone. This just one of the reasons to have this surgery is to be healthy, now my heart! Anybody else have issues with physical before 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!!
