Hello! I am new to this app! I've been looking for support from people who know what I am about to go through.

I am in my beginning stages, literally, I have my first nutritionist appointment on May 13th. My first of 6 months of supervised nutritionist appointments (required by my insurance) so my surgery will be mid October!

Start writing down questions to ask your Nutritionist. Be honest with them and let them help you make the changes you'll need to make. Take advantage of this time you have before surgery and prepare yourself as much as possible.

Great advice. Thank you. I was thinking of starting a journal. When will the 'liquid diet' start, is that pre-op or post-op?

Every plan is different with the diet plan. My surgeon doesn't require a liquid pre-op diet unless I weighed over 400lbs. From what I've seen - most require one for 10-30 days pre-op. Those are great questions to ask your nutritionist. Keeping a journal is a great idea!

Thanks for that! Yeah, I want to start a journal with a lot of "before" pictures. I need to stay motivated!

I'm just starting out too - I hate to rush Summer but I really want to get on with this journey!

Exactly! I'm so ready. I hate that I have 6 months! I feel frustrated.

      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!!
