Last day of pre-op for me ... nothing but Clear Liquids. I had Water water water, 2 - 8 oz. glasses of crystal light, and a cup of sugar free Jello. Surgery tomorrow- can’t sleep sinus congestion 😟.

Congratulations on starting your pre op ! My surgery is scheduled for 11 December and I’m on pre op as well. Just wondering if your allowed any vegetables with your diet? Normally your allowed this with Optifast . I’m really curious because I’m allowed fruit and cracker biscuits with my shakes

. Why do the diets differ so much ?

Isn’t it amazing how the preop diet works? I was pumped seeing the scale change for the better every day! It kept me motivated. Congratulations on your successful weigh in! You’re doing awesome and you will continue to do so in the next steps ahead. My post op appt was yesterday and I had lost 14lbs on preop diet, and another 8lbs since surgery. Emily the NP said that’s more than average and that I’m doing great! Hugs to you! Enjoy your weekend!

      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!!
