November surgery scheduled



Recommended Posts

November 8 is the big day. I am nervous and excited, sometimes seemingly paralyzed by fears and other times bursting with hope for my future. I don't drink soda, but I drink a lot of bubbly Water. I am giving that up as of today. I am also trying to get used to not eating and drinking at the same time. If you have any other tips for me to incorporate over these next 50 days before surgery, I appreciate your insights and encouragement. Thank you!

Congrats on getting your date. Some advice....

Look over your program and see what's not allowed. Slowly start cutting those things out like you are doing with your bubbly Water. Research foods and recipes for the different stages so when the time comes you have ideas or know what you want to try. Much more but I'm drawing a blank right now. Don't worry though, I'm certain you'll get many and more suggestions from everyone here. One more though from me. Read this forum, you WILL learn so much from all the posts and question and answers. I have learned way more here than was told by my surgery team. Whenever something new was brought up I already knew about it and very rarely had any questions.

Good luck to you!!

Congrats on scheduling your surgery! I will be getting mine done in November too on the 6th! I don't really have any advice yet but I am doing the same thing as you-trying to cut out those things that aren't allowed after surgery.

      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!

        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!!
