    Default Hello

    Hi Everyone,

    Today is my first day on here and I am happy to announce that my Gastric Sleeve is scheduled for this Friday, Aug. 3rd 2018. God willing I passed my cotinine test that I took this past saturday. I am nervous but excited. I am so anxious to see what the weight loss would look like. I am 5ft tall and have been going up and down from 190-215 for the past 10 years. I went as low as 180 about a year ago but nothing else. The exams showed that I have Fatty Liver and a very small hiatal hernia with Gerd. I would have never found this out if I wasn't put through this battery of exams. I haven't done well with the liquid diet but my pre surgery weight is now 202. Am I the only one that wants to try all of her favorite foods before my surgery? LOL

    Have a great one
    Sadie

    Welcome! Good luck with your upcoming surgery. I just had my surgery on the 23rd of this month. I treated myself to one last hurrah before I started my Pre Op diet. I went to Chipolte's and had a burrito. Yogurtini was next door, headed there after I finished that burrito. Later on I found a $1 coupon for any sandwich on the mobile app for McDonald's. I got me a qtr cheese and fries! Must say I had a good eating day. Doing that gave me the strength to hold on during my 10 day pre op diet.It was discovered during my surgery that I had an umbilical and hitaial hernia. My starting weight was 193, sw 181. I am very proud of myself for making it this far. Today I was able to start full liquids adding cream soup and yogurt. I get full so quickly. Haven't really been hungry, yet I know I have to get those dratted protein shakes and fluids in to stay hydrated. Constantly remember your WHY and it will keep you focused and motivated.

    Just wondering if they had to repair your hernia? I haven't had the surgery yet, but have to do a upper GI to see if I have to fix my hiatal hernia at the same time. Good luck on your upcoming surgery!

    They repaired both of my hernias during the surgery. I ended up with 6 incisions instead of 5.

    I was not super strict on my pre op diet except the 3 days of liquid immediately pre op. My surgeon said it makes the surgery smoother if there is no food in the belly so that part I took seriously. Good luck on your surgery Friday.

    Did they give you anything to take the day before your surgery?
