I'm on my 3rd day of liquid diet of 7 days. Needing some motivation? How did everyone get through it? Thanks!!

I used my fear of complications as motivation. Like, big fat liver could get injured during surgery Since I'm a huge baby it worked well!

I've been on it for 4 weeks! Surgery the 30th two weeks with one meal two weeks with none I haven't cheated once. Why would you want to risk having to do this over again?

Setting up heart cath to see how many stents then wait at least a yr for surgery. But I'm going to modify the pre op diet to see how much weight I can lose in the next 12 months.




Blessing in disguise. This surgery saved your life most likely (even though you didn't have it). Sorry though, you must be terribly disappointed. Get better and it's a great idea to do all you can to get yourself healthy. Maybe you won't even need this surgery. Take care.

      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!!
