Hi just to give an update: I was not able to be sleeved. :( they found a stomach mass and nodules on my liver and spleen. So far this surgery saved my life... Ok that's the happy note. The part I'm really P'd off about is my biggest fear came true when I woke up and was told it could not be done at this point. My surgeon is AWSOME and said in 2-3 months we can try again!

He removed the mass since it was right where he needed to makeup sleeve. We are wiring in pathology to come back on the nodules and I have to have a liver biopsy today... I'm scared out of my mind.

The mass was not cancer thank God! Just trying to figure out what the other things are!

I hope everyone is doing well' one day ill see you on the other side of thin'

Doing great! Overdid it today a bit. Went out shopping for a few hours and didn't hydrate very well but relaxing now and sipping a Protein Shake. Going back to work tomorrow and hope to make it a full day.

You need to get your liver checked out prompto! I am happy you are going to get the lipid panel done. Can you think of anything that might have contributed to "the yellow eyes"?

      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.
