July 23rd is my date. just got approved. Not really nervous yet, just excited. My doctor does not require you to do the liquid diet prior to surgery anyone else been thru it and not have to do the the pre diet?

My surgeon is only requiring a 3 day liquid diet before surgery.
My surgeon requires liquid diet for two weeks prior to surgery. I start my liquid portion July 13 with my surgery date being July 27. I think I'm more nervous about that than the surgery.

I just scheduled my VGS for July 13th. I could have gotten it done in April, but I had work issues that I have sorted out. I'm nervous because I feel like I have so little time to get everything done! I'll have to do a 10 day liver reduction diet which I'm worried about feeling full enough on. We have a small trip planned right before I go bak to work so I'm excited about that as well, but not as excited for a Disney trip we haven't even planned yet. I'm happy about being able to enjoy it with my kids when the time comes!!

      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!!
