June is when I'm hoping it happens for me as well. Still have just a few more things to do, but quitting smoking, the NUT appt and the psych are the main ones still to do. Quitting smoking has been HARD!!!!!!!

Oh gosh! My surgeon's office won't be submitting to my insurance until the first part of June. I soooooo hope and pray I get a surgery date in June. My insurance rolls over for the new year on July 1. That means I'll have to fork over the co-pay and deductible if I don't. UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm June 2nd. Tomorrow is my endoscopy which is my final clearance and then all I have left is ultrasound at the surgeon's office and pre-op testing. I'm so excited/anxious/nervous.

So when is everyone starting their liver shrinking diet, my surgery is on the 13th and need to start around 20th may. And what sort of diet are you going on? I have the option of doing shakes, but also they offer a mealplan that is crispbread with toppings and then a Protein meal (fish, chicken etc.) at dinner. Not so keen on that, it is a bit danish/swedish oriantated. My doctor used to work there before he came here and his information booklet is based on that. The nutrionist said they are working on changing that, because Icelanders are not as fond of this type of food as the other nordic countrys, also the selection here is not as good and don't sell as low caloric/low fat option as in the other countrys. The toppings are mostly like liverspread and canned fish. :wacko: Thinking of doing they shakes.

      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!!
