My husband and I just planned a trip for about 5 and a half weeks out after my surgery. Assuming all goes well, I should be in the very beginning of the soft food stage. I have no idea what foods to bring/make that are decent nutritionally. Any easy camp food suggestions?

I am going in for lab work today and a routine cervical cancer screening as a part of my final tests before my surgery is scheduled. I got my EKG result back yesterday and they are "borderline abnormal" I'm guessing because I (just learned) have a sinus arrhythmia. Has anyone run into this? I'm wondering if this had affected anyone's process. Seeing as it's borderline abnormal I'm hoping it won't throw a wrench in anything. I will follow up early next week to have the surgeon review all the test results and will get a definitive answer, but will likely spend the weekend worrying.

I am going through Kaiser NorCal and am getting my blood work, EKG, and other random last tests done this week. Hoping there isn't a back log up here so I can get a surgery date soon! When I had my psych appointment a few weeks ago they said they were having to cancel some surgeries because they were only allowed so many hours in the operating room due to coronavirus. Fingers crossed I get a January surgery date! Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

I started the bariatric program a year and a half ago, and bailed out at the time for a handful of reasons (excuses.) Recently I decided that if I keep waiting for the right time to do this, it will never come, and I took the leap and asked to join the bariatric program again. They called me yesterday and scheduled my nutrition class, and my support group meetings. I already did the orientation, So I don't have to take that again. I'm nervous. Not necessarily for the surgery itself, but the possibility of regain, cosmic life changes, and how it will change the way I live life daily. What is/was everyone's fears prior to surgery? If you've had the surgery, how did you handle the struggles and fears? Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app
