I am 3 pounds below my personal goal of 150 and 7 pounds from my surgeons goal of 140. I think i might make it there by my first surgiversary.

I'm still 50 pounds from my goal, but I also started at almost 400 pounds the day of surgery. Down 168 since surgery August 17th. :)

Pre-op diet?? What is this??? My Dr didn't give me one....should I be concerned??

Sent from my SGP561 using the BariatricPal App

Every doctor is different. It has been my experience that they pre-or diet is a.) to help you lose some weight before surgery and/or b.) to clear your stomach and gut of any food that may be left in there before surgery. It wouldn't hurt to ask your doctor why he/she hasn't suggested this. When is your surgery? Maybe you are still to far out before surgery they will discuss this with you as you near your surgery date.

On another note, congrats on your upcoming surgery. Its completely life changing! Good luck and keep us all posted.

        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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
