I'm getting the RNY - but yes! It seems like so far away, but I know it will come up fast.

Hey, checkmeowt, I am July 15 too! Very cool to know that someone is going through what I am and will have the procedure done the same day. It will be interesting to see how our hospital adventures compare! I am also having RNY. I am meeting with my nut on June 30, and will begin my pre-op diet on July 1. From what I understand, I will be doing a combination of shakes, bars and 1 small meal a day. They sent me a sample of each bar and shake in advance to try so that I can bring my order with me on the 30th and get my supply. Looking forward to keeping in touch! Good luck!! :D

I'm July 13th. ???? I start a 3 day clear liquid diet on July 10th...I have no idea how I'm going to get through that! 3 weeks feels like tomorrow and forever away.

How is everyone dealing with family and friends?

Mine are sort of supportive...they do keep saying things like, "are you sure you really need it?" And loooong angry sighs whenever it comes up - I don't even bring it up! It's stressful but I pretend it doesn't bother me. I just feel like sometimes I'm all alone in this, and others are waiting to say I told you so. Frustrating.

Whatever they feel - I know this is what I need to do. And I hope they'll see the good once my weight starts to go down.

Looking forward to sharing this journey with you all!!

      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!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
