Pre-op diet: 11/28/2016, Surgery Date: 12/12/2016.



Recommended Posts

I am looking for others who have a surgery date scheduled on 12/12/2016. I am starting to get nervous, but this has been in the works for over 9 months! Full-sleeve ahead. I am thirty years old, live in the Pacific NW of the US, and have been over 200lbs since I was twelve. I am looking forward to this second chance.

I just had mine 11/14. I was nervous too. You'll do great. Your surgery is scheduled on my birthday so sending good vibes your way. I was down maybe 4-5 days. Im 7 days post op and feel great no pain meds etc.

Start my liquid diet on 11/28 also. Surgery is on 12/9. Thanksgiving this year is going to be last real food for a couple of months. More nervous about the unknown factor of how I will do through the early stages. Type 1 diabetic so have hope that this surgery will help in getting this under control.

@@Gypsymama, let's stay in touch. We will have the same WLS anniversary and I think that is pretty cool.

@@Mothra62 keep pushing thru. It has definitely been tough especially when everyone else is eating, but we are all strong enough to push thru to the end.

I'm the 12th as well! I have a 2 week liquid diet and I'm struggling more with my emotions than not eating. This journey is life changing in so many ways than just physical, but I am already so happy I'm able to do it!

Teeman, day 3 on liquid not too bad. I also put the smokes down the same day I started pre-op diet. I would ha e to say that I am wanting a smoke more than food.

December 19th 2016... I shall be Sleeved! Let the journey begin!!

      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!!
