I just had my final appt for medical clearance with my PCP - unfortunately I am not feeling well. Feel I have a fever (which I don't) and have aches and pains and nausea. I'm scheduled for Feb 19. I have to go back Friday to Dr. for last chance before I have to reschedule. I want to get this done already.

started my pre op liquids was very excited now I'm starving. my doc wanted 2 wks of shakes 5x a day Water and Jello. well after 24 hours I decided that's not cutting it I can only get 3 down beofre I want to get sick. so I am semi cheating and added skim milk cottage cheese it has 10 g Protein and that's making all the difference in how nauseous I am. I will go back to straight liq 2 days before surg thou.

My pre op diet is shakes, cottage cheese, and egg whites. So I really don't think you are semi cheating I agree though, the cottage cheese helps. Good luck!

Wow--- so fast! Sometimes fast is better! I've been approved since Nov and I waited to schedule my surgery around my spring break, and let me tell you 3 months of too much thinking about this surgery has gone on!!! If you believe your ready to change your relationship with food, and you've really tried all other avenues of weight loss you are probably making the best choice in having surgery. As long as you know it's not a quick fix ( for most people). Hang in there, we all go through this crazy ups and downs the closer it gets.

I just wanted to let everyone know 3 concerns I had prior to my surgery. Catheter, My surgeon didn't use one. Drain, it's really not that bad, my Surgeon used a rubber egg shaped drain. I could sleep with it with no problems. Finally the dreaded Swallow test, I literally took 3 drinks while they took 3 xrays. It had a medicine taste but it wasn't as horrible as I expected. I hope my experience will help you.
