@@mokt my father has been very supportive! He knows that its something that I really want to do! ????My mother hasn't been as supportive as in would like so as I approach my date of surgery I haven't been keeping her in the loop ???? my boyfriend knows and I don't plan in telling anyone. I totally agree with the no negative vibes! ???????????????? All of my coworkers no and they have been encouraging me along the way so that helps a lot too!

My surgery local. Which is good! I don't wanna travel anywhere! ????????

@@queencity we should definitely keep in touch! All support is welcomed ???? positive vibes only ????

Yes, most definitely keep in touch. I will let you know how my surgery went and also how i am doing with my preop liquid diet. I know most people would have a food funeral but i chose to eat a delicious but healthy dinner :).

Anyone else fighting the "I want to eat everything I can get my hands on" blues?? Had a small binge episode yesterday. Made me realise that I HAVE to get this surgery. All week I've been thinking, maybe I can just drinks shakes like I used to and get this weight off. Then, boom, one uncontrollable binge while no one is looking. It wasn't that bad, but it was still a binge. Thanks for "listening" as no one else really understands.

@all4him. I completely know what you are going through. I am going through it now as well. I was just thinking that maybe I didn't need this surgery that maybe I could do this on my own and hen next thing you know I am eating everything in sight. Good news I stopped quickly after starting but I really realize that I can't do this on my own. I need help. Hang in there!

My surgery is on the 10th, as well. I started my pre op liquid diet last Tuesday, two weeks out. I got on the scale this morning and I have lost 10 pounds! I am shocked!! So I have another week of liquids, one day of Clear Liquids the day before surgery and NPO after midnight the night before. What if my doctor says I've lost too much weight, I don't need to do this surgery now? What if my BMI falls below 35? I'm starting to panic that he's going to say I should just lose the final 70 pounds on my own. I'm talking crazy in my head!!!

Hello,

mine is November 9th! Also scared and happy at the same time. A little nervous because i had to be on the liquid diet for 4 weeks and i've cheated every now and then. Hoping that my surgery will be successful and wont have to reschedule. Any advise on losing extra fat on the liver in a short amount of time?

      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!!
