Hi Mrs.M!
How are things going now? I got your message, and it is neat we're going on the same day. I'm a bit new on this site, so forgive me. I was told to do a 5 day liquid diet. But I may try to start tomorrow or Friday. Did your hunger go away yet?
OK bandsters, I have my day! 2 weeks away. Next week I have a couple of classes and an EGD (doc sticks camera down my throat to look around). Then the following week - whamo.
Anyone else going in the beginning of Feb?
I have a 5 day liquid diet, although I doubt I'll loose 5% of my body weight....I'll take what I can get.
Mine was almost 2 weeks ago, and it was 10 minutes tops. I had just spent a full hour with the nutritionist. I was surprised that mine was just a series of quick questions. The ones that stood out for me were the big scary ones: have you ever binged and purged, anorexic, cut yourself, done harm to others....etc. These were mixed in with more mild questions. I was a bit nervous too, but it was all good.
Oh, I felt it, as I read it. This month, at a ballet show my dd was in, I had a 3 year old walk up to me and point to my belly and say baby. At least the skinny pregnant mother was on the ball with a good lie for me: "She says that to every woman." Curiously not to the thin ballet moms. I have my first apt. with surg.center Jan 5th.
