I wonder why your page says NO slim fast or ensure? Hmmm? So I had to buy food from my Dr's office and a majority of it is disgusting. I've been kinda cheating and drinking an Ensure for Breakfast or lunch the last few days because I just can't tolerate that gross food 3 meals a day. I have researched other diets online and none are as restrictive as the ones they're giving us

Samsung Galaxy S7

How much sugar in Ensure? I drink premier protien. 1 gram sugar and 30 grams protien.

Went to Sam's and picked up some Premier Protein! I've got like 3 different types of Protein powders that I'll be trying out to see what I like best. My doc has me starting my 2 week pre-op on Feb 2. 4 Protein Shakes + 1 lean meat and 2 cups green veg at dinner.< /p>

Driving myself to FL on the 16th for pre-op and surgery is Feb 17th!

I'll be you tubing for encouragement to other "older" women! I'm 50 with two pre-teen boys! I'll post when I get one loaded

Hey haven't you heard fifties are the new thirties? Lol I'm turning 50 in March.

So how are you feeling? I can't decide if I'll be more worried about the food changes or excitement that the procedure is so close!

Im excited as my date is quickly approaching. I'm also physically tired. I expected the tiredness because it's the first day of the preop diet.

Just got my surgery date today! February 20th! It's crazy how some of my friends are happy for me that I got my date. While others who I thought I had their support won't say anything. At least my family is supportive!

I'm also scheduled for February 20th.

      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!!
