Recommended Posts

You are warriors remember that! I am one week out til surgery and I am getting nervous and scared as I am very high risk...BMI is 79 a couple of weeks ago after losing 75 lbs. I hate this 2 week liquid diet too, but I keep telling myself this is how it has to be to reach my goal to live a happier healthy life. Just think about your health, shopping, quality of life, being more active without hurting and that will get you thru I promise. Wishing you and everyone else the best.

Today is day 8 of my liquid diet. My surgeon requires 14 days of an entirely liquid diet, but I allowed myself cooked veggies on days 4 and 5. So, I guess I technically cheated. I am doing good now, though. I have my pre-op apt in 2 days, hoping to see a good amount of weight lost so far! I have been avoiding the scale so that I won't be obsessive. How's everyone else doing? Any other "cheaters"? haha

To bjcarver,

I haven't cheated but it seems like my pre surgery diet is different. I have 3 to 4 Protein Shakes a day, then a Lean Cusine meal or that type 350 calories or less.

Today, the day before my surgery, I am really packing in the liquid. Then for dinner I am going to have a big fluffy salad with lots of green, cooked ground turkey and ricotta cheese. Some lite ranch or cesar dressing or lemon pepper sprinkle and I should be good.

Nothing after midnight, but I should be in bed by 9 or 10. So that will be my last of anything which will probably be lemon Water or perhaps some Jello.

I'm ready for tomorrow.

      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!!
