girlinthrmirrorme 26 Posted March 5, 2013 Is this normal? My doctor didn't say anything about doing that' date=' just no food or drink after midnight. I had to drink that stuff last year when I had my colonoscopy, it was very nasty, but I just chugged it down.[/quote'] I don't have to do it either. I'm wondering if I should????

kyeta96 50 Posted March 5, 2013 I am scheduled for my sleeve on the 11th. I woke up yesterday morning with congestion and a lot of coughing. I got worried about not being well by my surgery date. My doctor requires 5 days of high protein/low carb diet and then 2 days Clear Liquids. I have already done 1 day of my Protein diet and the doctor's office calls me and wants to change my date till the 18th. I guess it will give me time to get over this cold' date=' but I was ready and now the delay has made me a little depressed. I prayed that if God does not want me to do this, then he will stop it. Is this God stopping it? I really want and need to lose weight desperately.[/quote'] If God wanted to stop it, He would say 'no'. Maybe there is a reason only He knows that you need to be on the diet longer. Maybe he is protecting it. Maybe your resolve is being tested. Remember that you are loved as a daughter. He wants to give blessing, and give us what is best...which is sometimes disguised as trial. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jennifer616 48 Posted March 5, 2013 Just got the call!!! Going in tomorrow at 11:45!!!!! **** just got real!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Presher87 12 Posted March 5, 2013 I don't have to do it either. I'm wondering if I should???? Where are you having your surgery? My doctor is very particular about everything. I was on an all liquid diet for two weeks. Absolutely no solids. I have to take a Multivitamin twice a day and a Calcium three times a day. And then do this bowel cleanse the day before the surgery. I so have to shower tonight and tomorrow morning with special soap they gave me. There is so much. But I am noticing on here all doctors have different procedures. Good luck with everything.

If you are' date=' they're seriously wicked fast. Like 2 weeks fast! rofl And congrats on ticking off yet another step to wls![/quote'] @PaperBullets - I am also going through Duke Raleigh. Who are you seeing? I am seeing Dr. Omotosho. I spoke to the nurse today and after my nutrition class, next Monday, they will submit for approval. She seemed to think it would occur quickly but that his next available date is not until the second week of April. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
katia 17 Posted March 5, 2013 I am scheduled for the 21st. Thank you so much for answering me. It's so great to have this virtual support. I am scheduled for the 19th. I started the liquid diet today. I imagined it would be a lot worse, but so far so good. I hope that you are feeling better about it. Have a great day!
