Had my pre op today, went pretty quick. Also was told my doc changed to have all patients to 2 weeks on liquid pre op diet...luckily i was told i don't have to do the 2 weeks as long as i stay high Protein /low carb in the first week and start replacing meals with shakes

My date is for June 20th and I'm so excited I can barely stand it! And between now and then we go on vacation so pretty much as soon as I get back I do my surgical testing and start on my 7 day liquid diet.

I'm SO EXCITED!

I’m scheduled for the 21st, also just days after a 10 day trip. I’ll have to spend half my trip on the restricted presurgery diet :( but so worth it. My surgeon actually scheduled me even though we haven’t heard from insurance yet, just because of tight timeline. We plan to move out of state 4 weeks after surgery. Everyone cross fingers for me that insurance approves it and all goes well before and after move.

Hi all! I’m scheduled for VSG on June 11th. I was originally scheduled for 5/14 but pulled a chest muscle on the 8th day of my pre-op diet and has to re=schedule. Back on schedule and the pre-op. I guess I should be good at it but I’m hungry just 2 hours after my Lean Cuisine lunch. Sad.

      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!!
