ONE MORE SLEEP!! Surgery is tomorrow. I'm waiting on the call to tell me what time to arrive at the hospital. I haven't had to do any sort of pre op diet but I'm on Clear Liquids only, today. I will be drinking the awful magnesium citrate starting at 3 pm. At 5 pm I put on my Nausea parch. I'm excited but extremely nervous. I have a blood clotting issue so if there are any prayer warriors out there, I could use some prayers! Good luck everyone!!

How are you doing?

Surgery went well. I stayed an extra day in the hospital so my dr could keep an eye on my blood clots. I am home now and then quite a bit of pain but it is becoming more manageable by the hour. Cravings and hunger are still hanging around. I'm trying to focus on sipping my Water and walking.

I actually chose the date. My son graduates from college on December 18 in Nashville. Was not taking any chances! It's worth it:-)

Day 8 of my 2 week liquid diet. Didn't have any requirements for losing weight before surgery but I self-imposed a diet (ok.. Making better choices when I eat). Have lost close to 50 lbs.

That's awesome! I have lost almost 40. My doctor doesn't require liquid diet I have been told. I will know more Monday. I havent heard of any other Doctor not requiring that so I am starting it on my own just to be extra cautious.

I gained 15 lbs in 5 mos(quit smoking) plus LOTS of food funerals, & a pregnant daughter!! Every excuse to continue to eat more!! I Lost 8 in 3 weeks( my surgeon demanded in order to move forward) And only lost 4 so far during this pre-op!

I commend you on your loss so far.. That's amazing!

My doctor doesn't require liquids prior to surgery either. He says it's because all the liquid after surgery is plenty of torture all on its own ;) I can appreciate that!

        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!!
