Excited and nervous at the same time is very normal! I found the pre-op diet to be pretty difficult as well especially since I was still cooking for the kids. All I thought about was food, too. Of course, obsessing over food was not a new problem for me 😕 Good for you for sticking with it!

Your life is still going to revolve around food after surgery, it will just be in a different way. It took me a while to break my compulsive eating habits and it takes a lot of time and help to retrain your brain. Now, my life revolves around food in a healthier way: making sure I'm getting enough Protein, trying new recipes, checking my macros and looking at the food porn over on the "Food Before and After Photos" thread on this site!

I'm glad you're here. Being part of this community whether you're lurking or posting really helps.

Hello all my date is Jan 15th. I am excited and nervous all at the same time. Is that normal.

I have to be honest all i think about is food on this pre op diet. But haven't cheated and not planning on it.

I am only hurting myself if i do.

        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!!
