Ooh yay! Keep in touch! What are your stats? I think it would be neat to find someone with similar proportions having surgery around the same time. I am 5 foot 4 and 246 pounds. Can't wait for what lies ahead ;)

We need to! I'm 5'6 & 231. I start my pre~op diet on Monday & I have an EGD on Wednesday tge 17th.

Im on my 7 th days of liquids did/does anyone else have really bad diarrhea

It's totally normal. You have had only liquid & you will be fine. Word to the wise, keep up with your liquids! Week 2 was a lil' "rough" , I had been short on liquids and ended up sooooo constipated! !!! ( got to a point where I just could not drink anymore) I got some Mirrilax & that helped, but it was awwwwful! Best of luck!

Glad to hear you are doing so well. Continued success!

I am up getting ready to go to the hospital. My diabetes is my major worry all day yesterday praying not to get low blood sugar and could not take my insulin so had to be concerned with high blood sugar. As it turned out I stayed normal to little higher but not dangerous levels. Diabetics heal slower so I packed for a few days in case. Wish me luck I am at 9:00 AM

All the best! Keep us posted on your success!

Amanda' date=' thanks for the update! Great to hear you're feeling reasonably OK the day of. Hope it's a breeze from there![/quote']

Thank you! I still feel great! Hoping to go home this afternoon! It's 6: 48 am (east coast) everything Is going great, I'm off my morphine, walking fine. I guess my blood sugar was a little low over night (88-should be.90-120) but they're not worried gave me a sip of apple juice & that helped& I have a low grade temp, 99.2 I'm not worried I think it's because I was sleeping I warm up when I sleep. But I'm so happy I made this choice! I look forward to the results! One day at a time. Good luck to everyone who had the surgery yesterday or that are having it today!

      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.
