I had an EGD done two years ago when they found out I have celiac disease. I had an awful doctor who did not anesthetize me, freeze my throat or even give something like Valium to calm my nerves. Hands down, worst medical procedure of my life! I was very happy when my surgeon said that I didn't need another one. Oh, and immediately after the EGD, I had a colonoscopy performed. Same thing- no medications or anything. I'll never go back to that GI doctor ever again.[/quote

OMG you poor thing! That is outrageous.

@@Stacyann81 you can do it!!!!! Anytime you got a hunger pang just take a nice big chug! And all while you're doing it you'll be getting a tan and just think that is the last time you'll ever be a "big girl" on the beach!!!!!

      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.
