I'm having my pre op assessment today at 1:30pm. I have read so many posts some for this op and some against. I also read some lap band posts too. I have a lap band since 2007 and it never worked. Now after so many years of waiting I'm going to have the sleeve op on the 24th August.. I was so excited until I read the posts about weight gain.. Although I know this op is not a miracle cure I'm going to give it my best. I really believe it's down to you as a person to be strong and stay on plan and make te right choices. I wish everyone who is about to take on this journey the best of luck..

This should be fun on my first day of liquids and ready to go back to bed. After being on protien shakes I get really hyper. I am praying everyone especially for those who are having surgery today. Keep us posted on how you are doing. I do have a private group on fb if anyone wants to join. There has been a number of people off this page who have join and it has been a pleasure having them join and share whats going on....the link is.https://www.facebook.com/groups/AprilsBariatricSurgery/

Day 2 of 14 on preop liquid diet. I find I'm really tired. I work 3-11 shift as a nurse so I have to make sure a space every thing out. I was pretty tired when I got home last night and had my last Protein Shake for the day. I only get 4, 200 calories each. I had some beef broth and a couple of sugar free Popsicles. I have been told that it is better after day 3. I had already started 2 shakes and a low carb dinner 2 weeks ago in preparation . I am so ready for the 25th to get here! Shrink liver shrink!!

I'm just back from my pre op assessment.. it went very well.. I'm not on a liquid diet like I said in a previous post they don't do that here in Ireland. I weighed in at 287 pounds and my Bmi was 54... roll on the 24th so I can begin a new chapter in my life.. well done to everyone on a liquid diet that's hard to do.????

Honesty I have been on a clear liquid diet since the 5th and the first 3 days was really tough but after 4to5 days on it I guess your body adjust to it and I am having no problem. Can not wait for the 19th !!!

      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!!
