Wow. Today has been better than expected. So far, I've had 14+ ounces of fluids, including protein shake and popsicle. The pain is minimal, the gas is irritating, and I have walked outside 4 times.
So far, so good.

Tomorrow starts my 2 week pre-op eating plan. Thankfully, my surgeon doesn't do 2 weeks of liquids. 2 shakes a day and 2 small meals with 2 snacks. Things are moving so fast!
Nervous, scared, ready.

My endoscopy went well yesterday. I have a small hiatal hernia that will take about an extra 15-30 minutes to fix when I have the sleeve done. There is also signs of erosion in my esophagus and signs of mild heartburn. Thankfully, there is not reflu
