I am so excited! I have my surgery tomorrow. Today I am suffering thrui the 24-hour clear liquid diet. Its REALLY hard to be on it and be at work. Oye.

I found out I have a tiny sliding hiatal hernia but have not been told if there will be a repair... Has anyone had this? I am waiting on my admitting nurse to call me back. I really hope I dont have to have hernia surgery as well. This news was a shock after i got my upper GI results.

Good luck with your surgery . . . I know you'll be glad to get this behind you . . . Mine's not until January 12, so I'm on pre-op diet now . . . I think my doctor will fix a hernia at the same time, so I don't know what to expect from you. . . all in all, I'm ready. Keep posting on we'll all know how you're doing! :rolleyes2:

Sorry about the hernia but good they can fix it when they "go in" . You will be fine...and it will all be worth it as it has been for thouands of others who have gone before you. I think this device is an amazing and I feel grateful every day that I have been fortuntate enough to find it and get it. Good for you and best of luck!!!

Congrats and good luck on your surgery tomorrow. If you do have a hernia your surgeon should fix it while he is in there. It shouldn't add to your recovery time or anything. Good luck again.

Congrats, you must be so excited. I was wondering did your surgeon tell you how long before surgery you should not drink alcohol. Some people say 2 weeks, others say 4 weeks, 8 weeks, etc...

I was put on a two week pre-op diet and, at that time, that's when the alcohol stops.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
