You got this my friend!! How’s the Optifast shakes working for you? When is your last dietician appointment, is it this coming Friday? After my appointment I just kind of let the shakes go by the wayside and I ate some real food (in moderation) over the weekend. I hope you’re doing well and counting down the days!! Hugs!

Day 4. First day I craved food. Catered lunch today was a taco bar [emoji849] My focus is Nov 18 so I made it through. The broth today tasted like a roasted juicy chicken lol

I am tired but inside I'm pumped lol.

My surgery date is also November 18th, but I only have four days to prep before surgery. You're doing great. Keep up the good work.

Glad to hear you’re feeling so positive! The pre-op for me wasn’t fun but it also felt super empowering! Like I was finally in charge again! Keep up the good vibes

I'm on day 4 of 14 day pre-op (Sleeve on 11-21-19). I'm feeling super tired/low energy, anyone else have that?? Wondering if it is 'normal'?

You are doing great! The beauty of the pre op is it jump starts your weight loss and helps detox all the garbage we are hooked on.

Post op you will barely feel like eating so the liquids won’t bother you much I suspect. You will still have the savory broth!

Best wishes to you! I am almost 4 weeks post op VSG and convinced this is the best thing I could have done for myself. I wish that for you, too!

@Chardonnay40 you are doing so well! And you have such a great attitude. I hope when it's my turn to do the pre-op diet I will be as strong and good-humored about it all as you! Keep up the great work.

Day 8. I was really hungry when i woke up but I had some double broth for Breakfast with my shake and now i feel full. Since I am down 15 lbs (since I started this journey in April) my plantar fasciitis today (so far) is not painful.

I also started listening to this book called Bariatric Mindset Success Live Your Best Life and Keep the Weight off After Weight Loss Surgery By: Kristin Lloyd. She also had the surgery.

Good luck today everyone!

Today is day 5 of my 10 day pre-op diet. It’s been going well except I’m really craving food at night. Started to get a little dizzy yesterday and I’ve had a headache for a couple of days (which is not unusual for me!). 11/18 is coming up fast now!

      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!!
