This is fantastic, there are more June dates than I thought there would be. I had my date months ago, so I was waiting and waiting, I seen all the April buddies, then the May buddies and finally US (JUNE). This experience is going to be here before we know it, the time has just been flying by for me.

What does everyone have to do as far as a pre-op diet and for how long? I have a 10 day pre-op diet that I start on May 29 and it's just low carb, high Protein, thank god NOT liquid!

Opti-fast diet for two weeks starting June 8. Four shakes a day, one cup of broth and sugar free Jello and Popsicles. That's it for two weeks. I hear it's rough but I don't want my liver getting in the way so shrink away. I should be working on that now but I am busy saying farewell to some bad foods that I will not bring back into my life after this surgery.

Now that the June people are posting it does seem so close and so real. Wishing you all well and that we stay in touch!

      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!!
