Oh my! What is a flipped stomach? I pray that all goes well for you.

I want pickles so bad, but I don't want to do anything to mess up and it's not on my list. I guess I will wait until tomorrow and call the office and talk to my dietician.

Hey Jenny! Day 5 for me too. I've been doing good even endured people eating my favorite fried chicken in front of me. I'm allowed a cream based soup, it's funny how alike but different our preop diets are. Question? Do you think it would be okay to have pickle juice and hot sauce? I mean hey they are no calorie liquids. I'm craving a pickle but the juice would do the trick. My only concern is the sodium.

WOW Newbeebee! You are the only one I have encountered who's diet is worse than mine. I can have apple and orange juice, sf Popsicles, no sugar added fudgesicles, sf jello and all low sodium broth soups which really help. However, I have to go 21 days because of my BMI instead of 14. So I guess we all have something. It's going to be worth it. Hang in there, we can do this.

Is it all liquids?

This is day 2 of my liquid diet. Day 1 was no problem at all. Today experienced some hunger and I was a little light headed. Realized I needed to drink something. Did Water and a fudgesicle, it helped. We can do this!

I've had 3 c sections so I'm not exactly scared of surgery. However, I've never been put totally under with anesthesia either. I was awake for all 3 of those. I think it's normal for us to be nervous. Once we've come this far, I know we've all counted up the costs by now. We will be fine.

My preop diet started today! So far so good.

Awesome!

Glad I have a fellow March 18th band buddy!

I'm so excited for you, please keep us updated on your progress. I start my pre-op liquid diet next week. I'm praying my excitement for this surgery helps me make it through that.

Thank you Tara-U, I've heard it mentioned a few times and wanted to see what I was missing out on. I'm so excited I finally got a date of 3/18 yay! But my doctor never mentioned plication, maybe it's not offered by his office.

If anyone can take out the time to explain to me what plication is?

I'm so excited I received my approval letter from the insurance company today. I'm now waiting on a follow up call from the patient coordinator to schedule my date. I was thinking this is taking forever, but I had my consult 1/4, my psych eval 1/24, and my approval letter today 2/19. I guess it's moving right along considering. As I sit here watching the TLC channel and this story about the journey of this 600 lb woman. Though I'm moved with so much compassion for her, I couldn't be happier that I'm making this decision now. I hope I will be joining you guys with a March 2013 surgery date!
