Covid messed with my Pre-Op



Recommended Posts

I am being revised Band to Bypass and have been dreading the pre-op diet.

I was 3 days out when all elective surgeries got cancelled due to Covid. I had followed the diet well and was rescheduled.

Date of the reschedule was coming up, was on the shakes and doing ok, only slipped once... again 3-4 days out was re-reschudled due to Covid.

I am due to go in tomorrow.

I really struggled this time, Firstly I missed the start day for the shakes (I work in government and between drought, fires and Covid I barely know what day it is), then I got in my head and have only successfully managed to do 4-5 days VLCD.

The VLCD I was given was: Brekky: shake, Lunch: shake or bar + salad, Dinner: Shake + Veg.

My diet has been Brekky: Shake or bar (if I remember), Dinner: Salad.

Im just super worried about starting late.

I was 123kg a week ago, 117kg ealier in the week and 120kg this morning (that time of the month due tomorrow for my op - Yay for me)

...

I just needed to get that off my chest as it's really been stressing me out

Hope you had your surgery and are recovering nicely. My surgery was rescheduled twice due to covid-19, and am now slotted in for August. It's been very stressful, but on the plus side there's a lot of pre-op weight loss due to multiple liquid diet adventures...

      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!!
