  1. Hang in there! This is what I tell myself every day for the last 6 days. Just keep thinking how great your life will be at the end of the journey. I'm scared of the pain also, but figured I had a baby naturally and if I can deal with that, I can deal with this. Both kinds of pain are temporary and each day will get better. On day 2 of my liquid phase, I would have given anything to suck the salt off a potato chip but I held strong and the urge passed. Yours will too, just keep positive.

    MARCH SLEEVERS?

    I'm on day 6 of 14 of the liquid phase and I'm about over these Protein shakes! Never want to see another one when I'm done with this! Monday I go for my pre-op testing and then on the 21st I will be getting the sleeve. Every time I get fed up with the shakes, I just remember why I'm doing this and think of how the surgery will change my life for the good. Besides that, I'm down 9 pounds in 6 days!

    Acid and decision for surgery

    I have GERD and Barrett's Esphagus (?) and my surgeon says that he will look for hernia while in there but nothing showed on scope but he felt that loosing this weight will help with all the acid reflux.

    Starting My Journey

    Hang in there, that 6 months flies by. I finished mine the end of January and received approval the middle of February and tomorrow I start my 2 week liquid diet with surgery on 3/21. This is a great place to spend that 6 months to learn all you can from these people who have gone through the process.
  6. Thanks for sharing your story. I start my pre-op diet on Monday and will keep this in mind to stay on the right path.
  7. Hello, I'm in Louisville and starting pre-op diet Monday morning so having my "food funeral" tonight with son and daughter-in-law! My surgery is on 3/21 here in Louisville with Dr. John Oldham. I'm so excited as it has been an 8 month adventure to get to this point.
  8. I start my pre-op liquid diet Monday and I can have 3 shakes and a small meal the first week or 5 shakes and then the second week its 5 shakes up to the day before then its Clear liquids. This is the part of this process that I'm dreading the most.

    It just got real!

    Congrats JennWeb! I am right there with you, I'm scheduled on 3/21 so I can get things in order at work as well. Plus I have a hubby who is so afraid I'm never going to cook for him again! LOL I'm excited and nervous about how it's going to go. I know 2 people who have had this done and one is gain back and the other is a slow loser so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
