I am in the exact same boat. Today is day 3 of my liquid pre-op diet. My surgery is 6/15. The head hunger is kicking my butt today.

We can, I know I can.... I have had some doubts today if I really want this,and then I look in the mirror and know it's the right choice. I'm just trying to prepare for a whole new life. I love to eat and I hope my head catches up to the fact that it will all be different

Nothing you are doing to prepare for surgery is "killing you"... it's preparing you for rebirth. Every day is one step closer to your new life. Your new energy. Your new way of fitting into the world. Your new way of looking at food. You can do this, YOU CAN DO THIS.

YOU GOT THIS!

I didn't do a preop but I was realistic as to what it would be like afterwards. Not sure why they don't make us do a preop here in Vegas at the surgical weight loss center, Dr. Atkinson. I modified some of things I ate like soda, caffeine, sweets, fried foods, but glad I didn't have to do only liquids. The two weeks post op was enough for me. Lol. I was 277 surgery weight. Will find out what I am on Thursday (5 weeks post op). At the one week mark check up I was 255. I doubt I lost too much more but I'm feeling great and is not about the weight as much as it is about the diabetes. Doing great in that area!

      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!!
