Hi all,

Just had my last doctor appointment and am waiting for hear back from the insurance for approval. I have been trying to get informed as much as possible about what to drink for the pre op and post op diets and what is the best Protein drinks/ideas. I have been to 3 nutrition classes but want to hear from the real sleeve patients what was best for them and helped everyone success! I love this forum and am so happy I have found a group of people online that know exactly what it is I am going through. I have been overweight my ENTIRE life and am so excited to begin this new journey. I am a 32 year old single mother and want to be able to do everything for my daughter who is 3 right now. Her dad is not really in the picture so it is just me and her...I have to be around a LONG time for my baby :)

ANY helpful tips/tricks that you have came across on your journey through this crazy weight loss ride would be great to hear!

Good luck to all of us and keep up the good work!!

Mary :D

      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
