Well, it is here. I must say 3 months went quickly.

I’m drinking Clear Liquids only today and then at 6pm I have to do the dreaded prep. I guess the bathroom will be where I spend most of the night...

I don’t know why I need to clear out my colon for VSG but I will comply...

Pain meds tend to block you up pretty badly, so you'll be happy you don't have a poop backlog to process!

Anyway, best wishes on your surgery and hoping you have a speedy recovery!

I didn't have to do any prep. I'm glad that sounds like it would suck. Good luck! You'll make it :-)

Got the call earlier that I have to be there at 530 AM. Hospital is one hour away so 430 AM we leave.

I guess I will be setting my alarm for 339 AM?! Dear Lord!

I was hoping to go early but not THAT early! Yikes

Hi all! I made it with flying colors.

I stayed the one night and now I am home.

It was easier than I expected. I’m sore but not that bad.

Gas pains were minor but I did walk an awful lot so maybe that helped.

Best wishes to all!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
