Ugh! I am so upset! I just got a call from the Doc. office. They said my EKG had an abnormality. Now I have to go see a Cardiologist before I can have my surgery. I just want to cry. I am kind of upset because my EKG was done while I was sitting up, not lying down. Can't see the Cardiologist till Monday for a consult. If they do any testing it could be 2 weeks. That would put me into March. I know nothing is wrong but I also know that with my family history of heart problems there is no way the Doc. will just do another EKG and say it's ok.

Also, my husband travels every week. He was taking a week off to be with me so we need to know ahead that I will have it or not. So, sadly, at this point, have no choice but to push it back at least a week, probably two. On day six of pre-op. Now have to keep it up for an extra two weeks. :(

Will make an exception tonight and have a glass of wine but will stay with the diet.

Thank you. That means a lot to me right now. Maybe it's for the best. Leaving in the morning. Have to go out of town for a family funeral. Several people depending on us right now. Sometimes things happen for a reason.

Mine is on Tuesday the 19th. I was really nervous before the surgery date, now I'm like LET'S DO THIS!!! I think I'm mostly excited to just be not hungry. This pre-op liquid diet is pure hell for me.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
