My doc doesn’t require a pre op diet but he did tell me to lose 10-15 pounds last month. I don’t know if that was to actually lose or to see if I was committed enough. I did the liquid diet and lost 13.5 pounds and gained two back. He’s fine with it all and well surgery is in NINE days girl. We got this :)

Update: I live in Sonoma County and, as many of you know, we are experiencing devastating fires here and in surrounding counties. My surgery is scheduled for 10/17 and I’m not positive it will happen. It turns out I am not sick but my sore throat was from the smoke I hadn’t even known about yet. Prayers out to all affected by this f***ed up sh** and hopes maybe to a surgery next week...[emoji15][emoji15]

Hi there, thanks for asking- I am alive and my home is still standing but I’ve been evacuated, we’re all surrounded by 22 fires right now. So very sad. I spent a few hours in the clinic yesterday and do have a bronchitis flare up from all the smoke, Im on steroids and antibiotics. Phones and power have been down since Sunday and Medical offices have been swamped with fire victims so I just got ahold of the surgeons office today and they said surgery isn’t canceled but it isn’t necessarily on either- I find out Monday, the day before. I may postpone it for a few weeks because of my lungs and due to not having a place to recover- I’m in a local hotel with my son and two cats!!!

I bet you’re excited 🤗🤗 how are you doing??

I’m hanging in there. A little emotional yesterday and today but I’m still full speed ahead. Waiting on the phone all tomorrow. It’s so frustrating that we have to wait until a day before. I am trying to make arrangements for my 7 year old and I can’t until I know what time I have to be a the hospital.

      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!!
