Starting day 4 of all liquid pre-op. Better? Yes! Good? Not even. But I continue to lose weight so I'm trying not to whine as well as trying not to strangle anyone. I went to a Zumba class last night and it was so much fun. But I'm not sure I've ever been so tired. And with no Advil to literally ease my pain, I'm pretty achy today.

That is awesome!!! You are doing good. I've heard Zumba is alot of fun. Hurting from exercise is a good hurt. You know you have done some good for your body. I need a big kick in the pants to get me going. I have surgery on July 9th and haven't started any kind of exercise. So YEAH for you. I'm feeling motivated. Thanks!!!

Just got done with my egd I swear I was shaking I was so nervous. Then I bit down in something and next thing I know I'm being woken up then transferred to recovery.

No pain or nausea, hardly felt like anything even happened. Dont know why I was freaking out so bad.

I wondering if I can do eggs for my Protein diet instead of shakes?

Some Drs allow it, call and ask! They may allow you one a day or something.

Glad to hear it, Patrick. That's exactly what happened to me. Bit down, woke up, all over. My throat was a little scratchy the next day but hardly noticeable.

@klizanich - edg is esophagogastroduodenoscopy or upper intestinal endoscopy. It's a pre op procedure where they look at the structures from your esophagus to the first portion of the small intestine to identify any abnormalities. This is one of the clearances for surgery.

Mine didn't require an edg. But part of me wish It Did tomake sure all good since I have been banded four years. I did get an upper gi and everything was normal. So I just need to stop worrying about my esophagus and relax.

Had my H.pylori breath test this morning. That was NASTY. They told me it wasn't bad tasting at all - they lied. LOL

Tomorrow is my Upper GI, EKG, bloodwork, and meeting with the anesthesiologist. Then 12:01 Saturday morning starts my liquid diet!

fyi i think the worst was where they placed my IV--not comfortable -inside of wrist. Second worst was the taste of the throat spray they used to numb. and I think I ate a bad lunch choice, cause my throat was still numb or something and now my throat is a little sore from the spaghetti sauce in my lasagne lol.. but oh well. I made it through...now I'm more worried about Monday..that's when the really scary stuff happens..the actual surgery!

      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.
