Has anyone been diagnoised with gastroparesis and still sleeved? I had my EGD yesterday and the doctor said I may have this. Next Monday I have to have an upper G.I. and on Tuesday I have to have a gastric emptying test. My surgery is set for Monday the 29. I've been on my 2 week pre-op diet since Monday. I have no idea if I'll get to have my surgery or not or even be able to talk to my surgeon until NEXT Thursday because he's on vacation. Needless to say, the office wasn't really helpful and when I asked if I needed to stay on this pre-op diet all I was told is " I would." Nice. So I have nobody to answer my questions AND I'm starving!!!!

Any insight would be great,

Sorry to hear that. I had a similar situation. At my EGD I had heart arrhythmias and I had to get cleared before. I got cleared the Wed before my surgery on Tues. I had to stay on the key just in case I was cleared. Thankfully I was. Hang in there and hopefully you will be cleared !

Glad to hear someone with arrythmias was cleared! I'm going through that process now, nothing life threatening at all just a few missed beated every now and then. It used to be alot until I had an ablation done.

      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.
