Ok July Sleevers,

How many of you have had your Chest Xray and Upper GI done yet? Or EKG?

July 20th. I'm trying to get a list together on what I need to purchase for after surgery. I want to be as prepared as I can. Any suggestions?

[Elvenprincess 26]

@nyseness. I have heard tastes change after surgery so I just stocked up on bottled Water and strawberry kiwi propel powder and unflavored Protein powder. My program requires us to drink Boost so I have tons of that. My pre op diet is 4 Boost shakes a day and chicken broth and flavored water.

July 12 here, nervous, excited etc. Start my preop diet today, it is going to be a long long month of shakes!

I have my re-assessment next week and anticipate an early July surgery date. Excitement and nervousness alternate. Lots of fear and hope too. The success stories in here help tremendously.

Hello July Sleevers,

I had my chest xray and upper GI done..... drinking barium is worth 62 calories... lol!

So you know, Drink lots of Water after these tests are done. You will become constipated after having drunk only a few ounces of the barium Fluid, It sits in your stomach all day and feels like a heavy rock. You do lose your appetite but it takes a few days to be "regular" again.

EKG and preop are next while I'm on the liquid diet. Now this part really scares me. I'm not pleasant to be around when I'm "HANGRY" (hungry and angry)

My family is being very supportive and I appreciate that. I only hope I can keep my senses while I'm liquid dieting for 2 weeks.

P.S. I lost my surgery folder when I hid it from Mom, and I need to get a new one for all my surgery preop and postop information. *SIGH*

I am looking at a July surgery date and will learn more at my reclassification appointment on June 16. I hope for the last day of June or the first week of July after the 2 weeks Protein fast.
