I had my follow-up with Dr. Billy today and an Upper GI. My plicated stomach looks very good. There was 1 area of concern where Dr. Billy might want to tighten later if needed but other than that all went well and I was cleared for mushies. I drank 1/2 an Isopure during the morning - 80 calories, 20 grams of Protein.

On my trip home I stopped for lunch. I ate about 3 small bites of scrambled egg, about 2 ounces of french onion Soup and a couple of small pieces of the cheese on top of the soup. I'm stuffed!! I don't quite know the full signal yet but started sneezing soon after I finished so I figured that might be my full signal. I used to sneeze if I ate too much with the band too. I think I'm gonna start carrying a measuring cup with me!

I'm gonna go walk now.

Take care,

genepha

It doesn't take much food now, does it? Sounds like you're doing great - keep it up!

I sneeze and my nose starts running and my eyes Water. I try to pay closer attention, but I am really bad about one more nibble.

What does the upper GI consist of? xray?

Thanks for the update. Glad you are doing so well!

Upper GI is like an x-ray but I had to drink the white chalky contrast so the dr.and tech could see it go through my new tummy. They also have this fancy table that lays you down and then stands you back up. It's easy but the contrast tastes nasty!!

Thanks so far I'm enjoying my plicated tummy much more than when I had the band.

I'm back from my plication Genepha and I wanted to email you so badly but I was in awful condition for the first few days and could hardly do anything! I am back to good though and excited to see what my results are. Can I admit that I am daydreaming about eating regular food! I doesn't get to me until I make dinner for my family though.

      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.
