Recommended Posts

Hey scorpiokutie!

Wow! You've been trying for a long time! Congratulations on sticking to it and getting what you want!

Do you have to do a pre op diet?

Feel free to stay in touch! Guess I won't complain any more about the time it took me.

Hi Serenity55,

Thank you very much. I don't have to do a pre-op diet, I was just told to eat light the day before. So I will be doing Clear Liquids that one day. Good luck to you with your surgery!!

Had my preadmission testing today and just waiting to make sure that Feb 10th will actually happen. I had an abnormal EKG and so I had to had an ECHO and a stress test and I think they were OK but have not received official word. THe "pioneers" are adding up and soon we will join them. Let's keep in touch.

Peachwood I'm as jealous as all hell! Well done to you, I guess you paid the price in worry and uncertainty! Good luck everyone - are you all freaking or what? I'm actually quite calm today, not starving too much and not worrying too much. Mostly worried about leaving my kids and husband and making sure everything is good at home so I dont have to do much for the next week. Cant believe its 2 days away! WOW!:cursing:

I have been eating all the things I know I will not be able to have for awhile like bread, shrimp, etc. But not overeating. As of Monday it will be CL for 2 days and then two weeks of FL. I will have to get creative. Need to do a little shopping. Gas-X strips, Miso, Papaya enzyme ( just in case)to add to the regular items.

      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!!
