I am scheduled for my sleeve surgery dec.8th.. I'm now getting very nervous... I start my pre-op diet today. It's really hard.. I know it's all mental..

I'm allowed 5 shakes a day for two weeks.. I'm hoping this gets easier... I won't give up I know this is what I want. I know this is important. However I'm starving:(

@@elisa_rose you got this ! After day 3/4 it'll be easier. I know some friends of mine have told me that day 2-4 they've gotten headaches . My pre op diet was 7 days shakes , Water , broth and sugar free Jello . I've been reading more that all pre op diets vary depending on surgeon . I'm only 7 days post op and I'm still still on the same liquid diet as pre op and this time around it's easier. Don't worry you'll get through this !

I'm right there with you. Scheduled for the 7th and started my diet today. Todays is extremely emotionally stressful for me for personal reasons. I almost forgot I was on the diet today. LOL I drove to the hospital to visit my son thinking "Oh man, i'm so hungry! Oh there's a Burger King next to the hospital, I'll swing in and get a burger." So glad I remembered to throw a couple shakes in my purse before I left. Its going to be a long couple of weeks, but we'll get though it, just as those before us have, right?

I hope things get less stressful for you.. this is hard enough without added stress. We made it through the first day.. it has to get easier:)

@@elisa_rose not going to lie I still have that gas they pumped me up with in me but walking around helps . I went in early 11/18 and was in and out of sleeping due to pain meds and just being tried from the anesthesia . The next day is when they gave me Water , broth and Jello to finish from 7am -noon. Just like everyone says , sip sip sip . I'm still learning when I'm full from liquids . I did make thanksgiving dinner for my family and not once did I have a desire to eat it or taste . I always felt full from the liquids . I'm still sore but it's getting better and I'm moving around more . I do have to remember to take my Protein with me or water bottle when I'm out too . I'm learning new ways to make the most of this liquid stage for me . Lol but everyday gets better and better .

Variety in shake flavors will help keep you sane. I have 5 full size powder tubs and easily a dozen single servings around the house.

Add crystal light or mio to change it up! I had a strawberry shake made with crystal light lemonade last night and it was a nice change.

      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!!
