Starting pre-op on 9/13/15



Recommended Posts

Hi all sirgery is scheduled for 9/28/15 so I am starting my pre-op diet on 9/13/15. This is really going to happen!! Does anyone have any advice about the pre-op diet? I am upset with myself because I have veered off my healthy eating so now I have to do a carb cleanse again, not looking forward to it.

Hi.. I'm on my liquid diet... now... OMG... It is really all a mental state of mind.. That's what I keep telling myself... My surgery date is Thursday, Sept. 17... I think the hardest part is, still having a family that I have to cook for... We can do this!!! We have to focus on how our surgery.. and how bad we really want this... Good luck!!

get all bad food out of your house! And use any of your "fun fund" money that you may previously have used on fast food or junk food to go see a movie or something fun that is non-food related. :) Good luck!

My surgery is also the 28th. Very excited but starting to get nervous. My goal this week is to start my deep clean of my house and enjoy some of my favorite foods and drinks. Not planning on going all out but will definitely be having some favorites! Enjoy your last week before the pre-op diet!

      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!

        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!!
