Thank you and good luck to you!! When is your preop day? Two weeks from tomorrow!! It is getting so close!

Also, I am so lucky to have the parents I have. They are amazing people!

Woohooo....one week from today!! I've lost 6 pounds on my pre-op diet so far. It's getting slightly better - although I've elected to add 1-2 hardboiled eggs every day. My husband is shaking his finger at me and scolds me to follow the diet exactly like my doctor says. I guess I'm a bit of a rebel. The idea is to have low calorie, low to no carbs, no/low sugar, no/low fat while also getting your Protein. Somehow for me, having the extra eggs has helped. I'm drinking my Protein Drinks but I'm not loving them. Not hating them, just not loving them. I have Premier Protein chocolate and banana, plus Unjury chocolate that I mix with Fairlife Milk. I'm also allowed to have yogurt as long as the sugar content is less than 10 grams. The Yoplait Greek 100 is really delicious. I can also have cottage cheese, sugar free Jello, sugar free pudding, sugar free popsicles. And I'm even allowed to have one serving of oatmeal, cream of wheat or grits once a day. Kind of a strange menu. Oh and lots of Water. I have already switched over to Decaf coffee completely. Not too bad. Headaches for a couple days. I've been religious about sugar = have had none. So I don't feel bad about adding in my eggs :)

Contratulations on your weight loss ! I have not weighed in yet, I will do it later today at the gym. I actually threw my scale out the day before I started my liquid diet to avoid scale obsession (I tend to weigh in waaaaay too much).

It's good that you find something that works for you. And hardboiled eggs won't make a difference, especially when looking at all the things you are allowed. I can only have veggies on top of shakes, but the brand I have to use is way higher in carbs and fat than Premier Protein.

Speaking of husbands, mine tried to convinced me yesterday that I could have a piece of sausage without making it a huge difference. I was so mad he would say something like that !!!

I was just approved on Friday but need to tweak the date so officially I am June 13. I am a teach though so it will have to be after June 18, my last day. Hoping for the 19. Really kicking into the pre-op diet now and focusing on getting my mind set.

Hey guys, tomorrow is my pre-op consult. What should I expect? They only told me that would take several hours, and I would need some one with me.

I just had blood drawn, an EKG, and a conversation with the nurse about care before and right after surgery. My hospital also does pulmonary function but they did not want me to do it. Yours might be different since I did not require anyone. Let us know how it goes :)

      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!!
