I had my GI scan w/contract to make sure no leaks. The stuff tasted like pine sol. Gross. But' date=' everything checked out. They have me doing to the spirometer tests alot. They started me on liquid Lortab since they took away the morphine pump. I this real hard to get the liquids in. I didn't expect it to be this difficult. I just think I'm still in shock that I've done this and won't be fat the rest of my life.[/quote']

I had a gastrography scan last week, that contrast liquid taste like draino, pine sol and a whole lot of liquid hell!

Met with my surgeon again today. Hoping to released sometime this evening. It feels so surreal after the surgery is done. That's all I have been thinking about. Thinking, wow, I can't believe I've actually done this and I WON'T BE FAT FOREVER! Such a cool feeling because now it's reality there's no more questions about the surgery getting done for some dumb reasons. I can't wait for all of you! And thanks for all the support and prayers! This is the best birthday present to myself ever!

I hope I feel this way after my surgery. I'm having serious panic issues right now. I think I'm more terrified about having the surgery then afterwards. I've never had any procedure that put me under like this. Just trying to keep busy.......keep us posted when you get home :)

I'm down 28 pds on this liquid diet and I just have the rest of today and tomorrow. I'm on Clear Liquids on Monday (that is really going to suck) and surgery on Tuesday. Having serious anxiety issues right now but I think I'll be ok. Good luck to those that are in the beginning stages of the liquid diet. You all are awesome and can do it :)

You actually lose more weight with bypass vs sleeve and for my surgery buddies that had surgery this week or prior is anyone else bruised?

Hi guys just wanted to post update. I have been taken off the operation list for Monday 6 May my bloods were apparently not encouraging and surgeon wants me to resolve the elevated liver enzymes before the roux en y. Not quite sure what to make of this second postponement. I'm praying that my liver is ok and bloods improve. I suppose being cautious is prudent. I thought the gall bladder was the problem but there seems to be a concern that in case it's not i may not be healthy enough to proceed with the wls. I wish everyone the best if I'm cleared for surgery I think I'll post operation instead of raising my hopes up. But I'll continue learning from all of you and trying to loose on the Protein diet. All the best to upcoming surgeries.

      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.
