February 10, Emory, Johns Creek, Ga., IF I get a clean bill of health on February 5th from my ENT.

Seems I had an allergic reaction to something this weekend, and the back of my throat swelled up, sending me to the ER on Saturday night. They did a CT scan, and radiologist believed he saw a mass in my throat. Only problem (actually, a very good problem) is upon physical (scope) inspection yesterday with an ENT that specializes in throat maladies, no mass could be seen. However, there is still some swelling in the throat, and he wants to scope it again on the 5th of February after a seven day regimen of steroids, before he clears me for bariatric surgery. He's pretty confident that there is nothing there, and that what the radiologist saw was the soft-tissue swelling. (BTW, the location where said mass is supposed to be is not a good place to have one.)

I've already had my pre-op meeting with my surgeon and support staff. All that remains is meeting with the gas-passers in anesthesiology, which I can do on Monday the 8th. Cutting it close, but doable.

Please keep good thoughts (prayers) for a positive outcome to this, and I don't mean for the sake of the bariatric surgery. Were it to turn out that there were to be something there, that fact would far outweigh the results of not being able to have my sleeve.

      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.
