Hi so have any of you started your two week diet yet? I see my NUT this Friday I'm excited but nervous at the same time, I know I am ready, even though I know it will be a test of wills... not to cheat...I am really working on getting my mindset ready to do battle. It's hard because I have a couple of children I still have to cook for and just keeping in mind this is not for me even though it might smell good plays mind games. No you can not just have a tiny taste... Are any of you going thru this too?

I've been on my Pre-op diet for a little over 2 weeks. I have an 18 month old and husband so cooking is different but so far so good. My liquid diet doesn't start until 3 days before surgery for me.

Wow 4 weeks is a long time... What kind of shakes are you using? I had purchased the Premier Protein shakes from costco - I got all three flavors since I was not sure what I would like.. The strawberry cream is my least favorite, I think because it is just not flavored enough... I had also purchased some sugar free syrups different flavors, so this morning I put some raspberry in with my shake it tasted much better, not sure if you have any of those syrups but they might be an idea to spruce stuff up to more your likening...

      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!!
