I need to buy the Vitamins still. I have the upper GI study this morning. Slowly making my way through the appointments.

I'm in Pennsylvania. It's been either hot or rainy here which makes it harder to get outside for exercise. I'm trying to lose weight but also have my favorite carbs one more time...

Hi Everyone,

I will be having surgery 8/15- once I am cleared by my PCP. I am nervous and anxious about how I am going to cope with not being able to eat. I have a very supportive family. I am hoping that by reading these post it will help me cope and identify the stages of my food grief. As I am sure I will be having them. I have been over weight since I was about 13 years old never ever been thin. It seem like I went from an girls 8 to a woman's 12 overnight back then. I keep wondering if I will loose weight. I am not very active as I work behind a desk all day. I have to incorporate some kind of movements in my days. I know what I need to do I just need to get up and do it. I am not a cook and I hate to do it. I am not a good shopper I always feel super overwhelmed if I am making the right decisions. We also have young kids 11 & 5, not sure how the whole dinner scene is going to go. I am ready for my new adventure.

I'm right there with you. I've never been thin and I doubt this surgery will change that. But hopefully a healthy curvy instead of where I am now. I am not a cook and work behind a desk all day. Luckily I'm not having to feed anyone else so thats one less pressure. I started going to aquafit after work twice a week and really like it. Small steps. I've tried big changes all at once before and they didn't stick so hoping to do it right this time

I am scheduled for surgery with Dr. Pompa at LIMARP on August 24th in Tijiauna. I am excited but nervous at the same time. Nice to have this forum to chat with others who are going through the same thing.

Surgery will be 08-31-17 at 8:30 am
27 days and counting.
Preop diet starts soon.
Have to do 3 weeks of no carbs and no fats to shrink my liver.
I just want to see pounds coming off.
I am so miserable at my current weight.
Watching my wife's transformation is very inspiring.
She has lost so many inches since she got her surgery six weeks ago.

Hello! We have the same surgery date! I had my original surgery in Dec. 2009 and I am having a revision from RNY to VSG and DS.
I do understand the struggle with the liquid stage. The first time I was on it for 3 weeks before surgery and this time my surgeon isn't requiring me to but I am because I think it is better for my body.

      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!!
