1st day of pre-op diet n I ate like 3 baby dill pickles. So I cheated gotta get my mind right already. Just needed something besides liquids.

☆Jeni☆

I picked up some sugar free popsicles to give something to "crunch" when I'm tired of the shakes. maybe You could Do Something Like That. Good luck!

I can only hope for a July surgery.....I have my 5 hour block appointment tomorrow for all the testing, if all paperwork is good and insurance says it's a go, how long after your testing did you have to wait to schedule surgery?

I was scheduled the next day after I got approved cause I had did everything.

I am so excited for my July 25th date!!! I've even started eating low carb so that when I start my 2 week preop liquid diet I've already went through the carb withdraw and hopefully it will be easier! One giant adjustment at a time.

After the first week of liquids is over, I bought some baby food for the following weeks. I was told I can puree some chicken with fat-free gravy or chicken broth, so I will attempt that. Stocking up on unsweetened apple sauce, sugar free puddings, ricotta, oatmeal, grits, all the mushy stuff.

So far I have only told only my husband and plan to keep it that. I'm 43 have yo-yo'd my whole life, but I am super active. Happily married, one daughter and I live in DC.

That's awesome!

I have cancelled my surgery. Since I have a lower BMI, my Holistic doctor has persuaded me to try the HCG Protocol first as an alternative to surgery.

I will starting Phase 1 in one and a half weeks.

Good luck!!

I took HCG injections and they did not work at all! It was a waste of $895!

Mine is July 15th. So much to do before then! They want me on a week pre op diet. I just recently heard about the Hair loss related to surgery so I am getting OGX Biotin & collagen Shampoo which someone told me about. Other than that no worries! 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!!
