thanks unfortuantely my boyfriend has to work so i was just planning on taking a cab home. i wonder if i could get away with that.

They likely will not approve a cab, but the good news is that the procedure is fast, and you can leave (pretty much) as soon as you wake...

Yea I made it through the upper endoscopy today no big deal actually surprise to me considering I'm a huge weenie when it comes to any medical kind of stuff! Getting set up with the nurse was what took the longest I think I waited about an hour and a half before they actually did the procedure and the next thing I knew I was going home!

That's exactly how it was for me. I got myself so worked up for nothing. Glad everything went well for you!!!

I didn't have to do much really I just couldn't eat past midnight the night before or drink past 6 a.m. This morning. They were really nice and it was over really quickly. I of course don't remember a thing the anesthesia was really good

      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.
