It is routine to take a biopsy. They took one on me. I think it is to test for H. Pylori. I did not have it, but if you did they want you on medicine prior to surgery. It is a condition that might indicate that your stomach could be prone to ulcers. If I remembered my facts correctly.

Congrats on your date ... I am very excited for you!!!!!!!!!!

GREAT news ... I am very excited for you!

You will do GREAT! Wishing you a quick recovery!!!

Congrats ... Keep up the good work!

My dad got really weepy after heart surgery. The doctor said it was normal after surgery. I hope it passes soon. Hugs to you!

I am in the soft stage and would like some suggestions on a snack I can carry in my purse. Any ideas would be appreciated.

I am not sure. I was worried about the same thing. I was told by my surgeon's insurance navigator that if I lost 20 pounds in a month, I might get denied. And if I fell below 40 BMI I might not get approved. Ask questions regarding your particular situation.

Keep checking those items off and you will be on the table before you know it!

Just keep following doctors orders. You will get out of this with time. (You can remind me of this next week when I hit the 3 week stall) We had surgery on the same day and I lost 8 pounds the first week and 4 the second. I started on pureed foods on day 6 and soft on day 11. I was so glad I did not have to stay on liquids as long as you and others. Today is the first day I met my protein goal, but have been meeting my liquid goal since day 4. I sure hope it gets better for you!

That is so awesome!
