It slipped within the first week of getting it, but I wasn't having any real problems other than eating anything I wanted, so the dr. didn't believe me.

That was 2007, and he finally did the upper gi as a result of gallbladder issues this past January, and decided that it was, in fact, slipped.

23 days until I start per op diet. Nervous about not losing weight on it. I keep saying I am going to start it early but then I decide to wait. I need to start doing a little walking each day but it is so hot and my feet hurt. I am now 304 pounds but I have started to drink Water. I have my endoscopy tomorrow at 1pm. I hope everything looks good.

Hey Everyone! I am new to this forum. I have my surgury planned for August. no official date yet because I am waiting for work to be all squared away. Anyways, I just switched from RNY to sleeve last week! I am a little nervous because I researched RNY so much and do not know a ton about the sleeve. I am going basically on what my surgeon is recommending for me. I trust her though. Anyone else in MA? I am going to St. E's Dr. Pecquex. So yeah thats where I am! Hi!

I downloaded the app to my phone but I probably won't use it until after surgery. I am really not very good at doing things like that but I have to get it in my head to start

:wacko:

Hi all! I'm hoping for an end of August date. My paperwork will be sent insurance probably next week and they usually respond within 2 days. My doctor's nurse told me yesterday she has him scheduled through Aug 9. So I'm hoping for August "new birthday" as well. We'll see. I'll let yall know as soon as I know. I'm addicted to this app on my phone. So much good info on here! I will be having my surgery at ETMC hospital in Tyler, Texas with Dr. Babineau! Love all of his staff! I have about 100 lbs if not more to lose.

      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.
