That IS cute! I didn't officially vote b/c my surgery won't be until June or July (if I get approved). I'm a teacher and have off in the summer. :thumbup:

When are you going to close out the poll BB? Also, everyone, I finally figured out how to post the logos I came up with so take a look when you get a chance.

I am going to make one more suggestion, if I MAY... :smile: (pun intended, bad joke, I know!)

After we get the results from this poll, I think it would really be more fair if we took the top 3 and then voted on them. We don't HAVE to but it just seems that other than May Flowers the rest are pretty spread out and if there is anyone on here who just doesn't like the flowers thing then they are out of luck. At least, if it was narrowed down to 3, there would be a better chance of it being a "fair" poll. I guess I would liken it to the presidency... they only let us choose from 2 in the end...

BUT that's just my 2-cents :lol:

I have been on vacation for awhile and just getting back to the boards. I like all the names for May. It will be fun to give us a REAL name.

I did have a meeting with my dietitian this week. I start on a liquid diet on April 24th with 1200 cal and 60g of Protein a day for 7 days and then only 860 cal and 60g of Protein for the 7 days just before my surgery on May 8th. I have to purchase IMPACT online to have 2 a day the last 7 days with one other kind of choice. I am working on MIND OVER MATTER.

It is going to be very challenging for me.

Missy,

We can do another poll, but lets only run it for like 3 days or so. You can set it up if you don't mind. I'll be heading back to school on Monday, all the fun and games are over as Spring Break has officially ended:(

Mae,

Welcome back! You will do great on the preop. Just remember what you are doing it for. It will be hard but worth it in the end :teeth_smile:. At least it's not a 2 week liquid diet. If you need supportm we're here for ya.

Krysten,

Sorry to confuse you. I wasn't sure how long we wanted to let this go so I just put in a date until we had a plan. We decided to let it go through this weekend so it closes tonight. If anyone knows how to do this "Officially" please let me know. I think Southern Missy wants to take the top 3 and repoll. I don't care either way, we ran the poll and will have results. So do we take the winning name from tonight or do we repoll? I am so confused too :sad: I am soooo glad I have you guys to help me out :scared2:

      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!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
