Coming up on my last week of my liquid diet. It was not as bad as I thought but it was not easy. A lot of praying.

I'm scheduled June 9...they literally told me 2 days ago. So I'm freaking out a little lol. I'm excited, though, just feel a little unprepared, starting to reread all the tips and whatnot. How have you guys been preparing?

Congrats to everyone for their surgery dates! I have mine June 3rd! I cannot believe that's only a few days. I have been trying to get all the laundry done, house cleaned, etc so my mother-in-law won't feel obligated to do it. She is coming in Tuesday to watch our four boys. I am still on the emotional roller coaster. So ready to get off that darn thing!

How is everyone doing???

On my second day of liqyid4. Surgery June 12th. Excited but scared too. Love the weight loss that I have so far can't wait for more. It's the only thing that keeps me going. I have noticed while on this liquid diet, how inundated we are with food. It's EVERYWHERE! No wonder we have issues with food. Time to change all that.

Good to hear carebear. I'm getting a little nervous. I go Monday.

I came in yesterday at 7:30am. They did some routine tests on me (blood work, sugar). Once they got ready to take me back they gave me some anxiety and nausea meds. I was pretty loopy before they started. She put oxygen over my face and I was out!. Woke up in recovery and they gave me lots of meds I was then wheeled of to my room.i didn't have anything to eat until just now. They brought me chicken broth, hello and unsweetened tea.

You'll do great on your surgery! The doctor said there weren't any complications. Yay!

      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!!
