Hi everyone!!! I have surgery with Dr Brengman tomorrow at St Mary's!!!! I am nervous but Dr Brengman has been great. He is also going to fix a small hiatal hernia when he does surgery. He did not ask me to lose weight before surgery just do the 2 week pre op diet. I have list 10 pounds on the pre op diet and have only been able to exercise 1 day so I think thet is pretty good. I am nervous about going home with a drain for a week and just pray surgery goes well. Please think of me tomorrow. A little scared. -
Have any of you gone through this? Will my surgery be cancelled? I have lost 8 pounds so far on my pre op diet and can't imagine doing it longer.

August Sleevers?! Where Ya's At?

Well tomorrow I go to my 4 hour class as part of my pre op. I start my pre op diet in 2 weeks. I have tried to start cutting things back but do not have the motivation. Once again, the reason I need this tool to help me. If I get any tips from the class tomorrow I will post for all of you. I had my endo scope done last week and they found a small hiatal hernia and an irritated spot which they took a biopsy of. They say this is all from my GERD and that I am fine. My surgeon did not require me to have the scope done but I requested to have it done since I had really bad bad heartburn and chest pain when I was laying down. If any of you are going to meetings and learn tips please post. -

23 days until I start per op diet. Nervous about not losing weight on it. I keep saying I am going to start it early but then I decide to wait. I need to start doing a little walking each day but it is so hot and my feet hurt. I am now 304 pounds but I have started to drink water. I have my endoscopy tomorrow at 1pm. I hope everything looks good. -

Audrey, I have started taking pics and keeping them also. I am going to make a "never again" collage to keepe motivated after surgery. I couldnot believe I was 300 pounds when I weighed myself last month. I felt ashamed and depressed. Now I am anxious about the surgery but wish it was tomorrow. We will do this together!! -

August Sleevers?! Where Ya's At?
aug62012 replied to futureskinnypants's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I am nervous about having a major complication like blood clots or something. I have a daughter and scares me to leave her. Of course I need the surgery to be healthy for her do I really am exited. I know sounds so crazy to be scared and then exited but thankfully you all understand. My pre op diet is not a liquid diet. It is protein shakes with veggie and meat dinner. He calls it a liver shrinking diet. Basically 1000 calories. I have started to cut out soda and am down to 1 a day. I am also down to 1 caffeine drink a day. I can not believe it, I used to drink 5-7 diet cokes a day. For some reason flavored water gives me heartburn and I already take Prevacid everyday. I found the sugar free hi c individual packs for 20 oz water bottles and they are GREAT! I am not a big fan of crystal light. They say protein powder goes really well in sugar free tang but I could not find it do am ordering it online. I bought the injury chicken broth but just 1 in case I do not like it. My favorite ready protein drink is muscle milk lite and it is lactose free. What are you doing to prepare? -

I have had an endoscopy before and you will not feel a thing and won't remember any of it. Yea, the cathedral is yuck and I hope it is not in long. You know my doc is not going to do an endo on me, hmmm, I need to ask him about that.
