Before having my sleeve done. I had a hard time taking pills. NOW, I have to crush my Zantac. OMG!!! Just the thought makes me gag. I HATE taking this pill 2x a day. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to get this down without gagging. I mean, I know that I HAVE to take this but its horrible trying to get it down. UGH!!

I love sandwiches, from what Im reading, it seems that thats over for me now. How long did it take before you could eat regular food without any complications? Now that you can, what is your favorite food or snack?

I got the phone call today at 12:38 pm!!! I jumped clean in the air when my DO said that I was approved!!! I will NEVER let anybody tell me that its not hard work going through this. It is very hard! I am just so happy right now! My surgery date is October 23, 2014!! When is yours and how are you feeling?

Yes. We have the same story. Mine is tomorrow 10/23.

Omg! It was spaghetti night in my house also and I had to cook it. It smells so good. Im hating the fact that I can't eat any. Surgery date is 10/23

And thank you all for the well wishes and support. I will update soon on how it went.

Hi Betts69, Yes. I'm on my preop liquid diet and it is EXTREMELY HARD. It's for 2 weeks. Breakfast- Protein shake Snack- sugar free Jello and Water Lunch- Protein Shake Snack- Sugar Free Apple sauce and water Dinner- Protein Shake and 1 cup of veggies Then, another Protein Shake This diet is teaching me DISCIPLINE because I have to cook for my family. Whenever I get hungry, I go find something to do with water handy. I love YouTube so I'll find motivation looking at before and after videos of people who have been through this and I feel so much better about this decision. Anyhoo, I am doing pretty good with it. I also think about how close I am. I only have 2 MORE DAYS.

Yes!!

Thanks!!!
