I had my GI series today. The preliminary report from radiologist says that my band has NOT SLIPPED OR TILTED in any way! woo hoo. He said that the surgeon may unfill me a bit or totally just to give things a rest. He said the opening of the stoma is almost too small and that the barium was 'hesitating' before flowing freely, thus my gurgling.

The drink stuff was not too bad or too much. I did have to eat these dry granules and then swallow Water. It was like eating poprocks that smelled and tasted like rotten eggs. LOL I also like being lifted and lowered on the table. No one told me I would have an amusement park ride!

I will call surgeon in Thursday to see what the plan is.

Tracy, you are a hoot!!! I am happy all is where it should be. I am having a scope Monday and will be interested to see if all is well after months of being too tight with reflux and barfing.

      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.
