Looking for a buddy... I'm pre-op for the sleeve, due to get it done in September. Anybody? There doesn't seem to be a NJ Sleeve Support group :(

First I was getting a little discouraged because of the Clear Liquids, but now that I'm on full liquids, I feel like there is hope. I'm experimenting with a lot of Soups, I feel like the best thing is variety. You do get tired of drinking broth, and tea. Another thing that is my saving grace are the sugar free popsicle sticks. I'm actually looking forward to purée diet next week. It is very challenging to get the Protein that you need, because I think that is essential for energy. And Multivitamins are important.

That's OK, you don't have to declare if you don't want to. My stats are in my signature :)

      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!!
