I'm scheduled on the 22nd to take it. I was wondering what would it ask and how long does it take?

Heyyyyyy guys... hope everyone is doing great in there weightloss journeys. It's been a struggle since march 23 when my beloved band (tina) was taken from me.... god i miss that minks.... I didn't realize how much she kept me from feeling hungry all the time. I find my self grazing more and making some bad choices. i've put back a few, but still fitting in my size 4 jeans. Monday starts a new exercise program and im getting these few lbs off On other news..... It looks like i will be moving to Madison, ms.... very nice town just north of Jackson. Tim (the guy i have been dating for the past 8 month) has been promted to the corp office for Enetergy. He's buying a house up there and has asked me to move in with him..... and i say...Why the hell not. It's only 3.5 hours from my home now... so still close to family. Miss you guy.... if anyone wants to email me.... christina2315dd@yahoo.com .... i check that all the time. xoxo chris

If anyone has questions please PM me. I found the whole group to be very professional and the experience was great.

I've been hypothyroid for 12 years. I was also pre-diabetic. I was sleeved a little over 2 years ago, lost 100+ pounds, and have easily maintained my weight loss with decent food choices and exercise. My metabolic rate also seems higher today than it was before surgery. I can maintain my weight on 2000+ calories daily now. Prior to surgery, I could gain weight rapidly and fiercely. Here's the catch: I was a dreadfully slow loser. I lost an average of 6 pounds monthly with my sleeve, possibly due to my hypothyroidism and insulin resistance. However, I'm pleased with my results.

Well this is my journey from Monday the 12th. Went in for hiatial hernia repair and RNY because my acid was totally out of contol. When the anesthesiologist inserted his tube, it was discovered that I had a very thin area of scar tissue that was completely iniulated from my severe acid. So my wonderful surgeon had to repair that first before he could do the bypass. Because of this it wasn't necessart for him to do the hiatial hernia repair. So the bypass part went as planned. Because of this repair, I could not start liquids on Tuesday. I had to have an upper gi xray to make sure there was no leak. There wasn't, but he still wanted to be extra cautious because of the delicate repair. So I was only allowed ice swabs all day Tuesday and was on IV. Yesterday, Wednesday, I was finally allowed ice chips, but still on IV. Today, Thursday, I am still on IV, but was allowed broth. I am not having any problems with the broth, so I may be able to go home tomorrow. I live 50 miles away, so like I said he is being cautious. Originally, I was to start liquids Tuesday through next Monday, adding protein drinks tomorrow. Of course that's when I was supposed to go home today. So now I will be on the clear liquids longer and probably not add protein til mid week. Otherwise, I feel great. I have never had any pain or needed to take pain meds. I am up walking four times a day with no problem. I do have a drain this time too, and that will be until my post op next Thursday. I have never been nauseated. I am just glad I have an excellent surgeon who saved my life agin. If this would have gone unnoticed, it most likely would hav ruptured and I would be in deep doo doo with infection throughout my entire body. I will update tomorrow! Wish I would have gone this route rather than VSG 5 1/2 years ago!
