I'm so nervous about the surgery on April 11th I'm having bad dreams about it my mind playing tricks on me i know I'm doing the right thing for me cause i have hbp diabetes and sleep apnea my starting weight was 358 my weight now 336 liquid diet 12 days in so im losing weight just afraid of having surgery

I was nervous also. But i was sleeved on the 3rd. The first night, nauseau was horrid. After that its been smooth sailing. I started at 210 day of surgery today im 200 lbs. I feel pretty good and have stopped the narcotic pain meds. Im a diabetic and assumed it would be worse but u got this. One rough day for years of better health and happiness. Praying for u.

I'm sure you will sail right through with flying colors. 7 months out , now at 232 from HW 365+ , SW 319, and although it hasn't always been smooth sailing, my boat will still make it safe to shore.

Ohhhh I’m day 4 pre-op diet and booked in for April 18th. Yay

starting weight before pre-op was 138kg

GW ??? I don’t know! How do people decide this?

Good luck! My surgeon set a goal just inside the healthy BMI range for my height. I just seem to remember feeling great when my weight was in the 130 lb range so that is how I picked. I just wanted to be healthy and able to move around more freely. Good luck!

Clothes are laid out ready for Tuesday and to stay busy tomorrow I planned a fun day at the dentist LMAO.. Going to the dentist for a deep cleaning really should keep my mind off things for a long while:) Everyone in the house is ready I think... I have let them eat whatever as usual because it is me that needs to change and I am hoping that maybe once I can eat real food again they will come around. I have been around every food temptation and think I have handled it very well even with my 11 yr old son in the car with fries:) yummmm fries:) Good luck for everyone who has surgery tomorrow wishing you all the best.

      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!!
