I had never been put under before my EGD, so I was terrified but it was so easy and quick. I was crackin jokes with the dr after I woke up. I haven't bought any Vitamins yet but my next dr appointment I'll be getting some! My nervousness went down a lot after the egd, but now that I know what it's like to be put under, the biggest thing I'm worried about is waking up after surgery in pain! I trust my dr and I'll continue to hope and pray that everything goes smoothly!

@borucuagirl955 how exciting the only Vitamins I bought are a multi Vitamin A bit that I think doesn't do anything so I need to find a really good one and Vitamin D because I had very low levels

I am so nervous about the pain as well but I am scared of how I'm going to react to food like mentally I will still be hungry and what not I think I'm going to be upset alot as a newbie I love food lol

      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.
