That’s awesome, how are you handling the pre op stuff?



Today has been tough.. I’m on day 3 of 10 and I’m kind of hungry. I can’t have anything but liquids and popsicles. But I keep on focusing on the bigger picture. 8 more days til surgery!! How has it been treating you?

Y’all are going to do GREAT!! The anticipation is MUCH worse than the actual surgery!!! Let me put it in perspective: I’m a 41 year old high school teacher...BMI of about 33 (I had it done in Mexico)...I had surgery on a Friday evening and was back at work and totally fine on Tuesday!! Y’all are going to do great!! Be excited!!!!!!!!!!

You can do 8 days! I'm sorry you are only doing liquids, but I bet you will have an easier time post op when you MUST be on liquids only. Once I'm on liquids only, I'm sure I will struggle. I am allowed one lean meat meal a day, and I really look forward to it. I'm sure you can do these last few days!

I've started a secret May Facebook group if anyone is interested? In order to be secret I have to add "friends" or I can use an email address. I just don't want to create a "closed" group because my VSG is not something I want public. So, if you want to be part of this then I need an email address to add.

Actually, I am wrong the group has to be "closed" first then changed to secret otherwise you have to be "friends" first to be added to the "secret" group. The thing is I don't want my VSG public

Maybe give it a different name like “nutrition tips” or something. Then ask a question to new members like what’s the password? And then put the password in this thread

That's a great idea! Or I can add people using an email address.

Hopefully the week flies by! During working hours I’m good and don’t even think about food. 7 more days until surgery, I got this!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
