Ok people.....s@$% just got real!!!! My dietitian called me earlier n the week nd told me to start my 2week preop liquid diet no later than 2/22/17. I asked her about a date for surgery, she said she wasn't told of a date, just to have me start the diet. Me being a good patient-for once-said ok and started the diet. Well.....I got the best call today-my surgeon's office called me this morning to move up my follow up appointment from my 2nd EGD (done last week) to this Friday 2/24/17. When I asked why was the appointment being moved and why I was told to start the diet without a date, SHE SAID THE DOCTOR IS ANTICIPATING DOING MY SURGERY NEXT THURSDAY, 3/2/17!!!!! OMG, I'm so estatic!

Woo!! That's awesome!

Wow that's great congrats!!

That's great! How r u feeling?

Hi@Diana Prince! I'm feeling great! Doing liquids (clear week 1 postop, full week 2 postop) was a little hard, and I did cheat a little-at a family reunion meeting ate the ham lunchmeat & cheese from inside a hoagie quarter-but didn't have any problems, so I figured no harm-no foul. Went back to work 3/20 on purees, now on soft/reg foods. Only problem at work I've encountered is if I eat too fast, I get palpitations and feel nauseous. Not a feeling I like, so I've been trying to pay attention to my timing. I'm at 183.4lbs now....feeling wonderful! Can't wait for 4/19.....my next dr appointment-looking to get approval to begin working out at the gym (right now, I walk, walk, walk.....I'm a phlebotomist at a children's hospital, so it's been pretty easy to walk between 7750 and 9000 steps daily)
