So this is more of a vent than a question. :)

I am sooooo unbelievably tired!!! I have so much to do! It's finals week and I am graduating after being at college for 6 years. I have my last two finals tomorrow (Thursday), and then I have to pack up everything, throw away stuff, and do my white glove all before 11:30 on Friday. Not to mention that I threw up 5 times yesterday (not on purpose!) and I wasn't able to eat anything. Today was the same way.

It's really frustrating because the last thing I ate was at 6:30-ish. I didn't even partake of the "Book Arts Edible Book Challenge" because I was trying to be careful. I keep waking up, feeling a kind of choking/drowning sensation. I don't know if this is reflux or not. :tongue2: I'm sure I need an aspiration, but with insurance/time/need to lose weight, I was wondering if there was anything else I can do to get rid of this besides an aspiration. Unfortunately, my acid reducer medicine is in my car, and I don't want to go get it. Anyway.

Thanks for listening, if there's a possibility that there are some of you listening. :thumbup:

Let me know if you are listening! It makes me happy!

I'm listening! I woke up the other night coughing/choking too. Now ever since then I keep burping acid to the top of my throat (and food if I ate anytime soon). There isn't heartburn for me...just the acid. Dr prescribed prilosec 3 weeks ago because i was having heartburn, but it isn't helping this acid thingy. Hope it goes away for both of us soon! (btw I had an upper GI before the dr prescribed the meds and it showed everything was ok with the band and it was not too tight and that in fact I could use a small fill) So confusing!

      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.
