Thank you for your comments. I will restrain from going off too much but I will ask for an explanation politely. It will still be hard to excepted. I've lost 40 lbs in three weeks, starting with the two week post op diet. First week post op 22 lbs. eventhough I'm really PO'd , it does bring a smile to my face. I will let you all know how the doc meeting goes.

First I'd like to say I totaly respect my doc as a doc. I'm six days post op and will see my doc on Wednesday. The day I came home I was in major pain. I got the scrip filled the he wrote whitch was hydrocodine. Unknowing to me I was allergic to it, had increased heart rate and major throbbing headache. I only took it once not again. So when I woke up I called his office and he returned my call within five or so minutes. Told him my problem and said to add children's Tylenol to it. There was no way I was going to take hydrocodine again after that experience. After six or so hours later still in major pain I had my mom call him, and again he called back quickly. I don't know if he realized I could not take the pain med or he thought I wanted something stronger whitch is not true, I just wanted something I wasn't allergic too. He talked down to my mom and wouldn't wright a new scrip said Tylenol would have to work. On to this Wednesday when I see him I want to go off on him. I paid around $25000 out of my own pocket and this high and mighty doc wouldn't wright me a scrip equal too the one he wrote I'm allergic to. I'm pissed. I'm doing fine now where Tylenol is suffient but those first few days home were very tough. What do you think I should do? Tell him off? That's what I want to do!

I use vega protein No dairy or soy. Its wonderful. Try amazon.

Thank you for the support. I know doc is right. I will toughen up a little bit.

Surgery went good. I'm at home now. Woke up this morning (4th day). Took the hydrocodine doc prescribed for me. It's terrible. Raises my heart rate and give me a crazy headache that's worse than the pain in my stomic. I called him this morning he said the worst thing( just add Tylenol) well that's bull shit! So I did knowing that's not going to help much. And of coarse, went to sleep for an hour woke up with my heart racing and a pounding head ace. So I had my mom call him. Her said that he has done thousands of these and I should not need any more. Not asking of more meds just need smomething that won't give me a headache. I paid over $20000 for this op and this guy is pulling this crap. As I see it there is no need for this. I'm trying so hard to stick with everything they tell me, I know it will get better soon, but I'm this close to go try something on my own like vaporize some weed. What should I do?

I'm doing better. My problem is at night. A upper scope? I had an upper and lower scope done last year. Yes the worst thing is the fasting with clear liquids but,I think it was for a 24 hr. if you were having both scopes done I'd ask the doc to make sure they don't use the same scope . Good luck.

I don't know what to say but I failed, after five days I gave in and ate some meet. Although I feel a lot better I didn't enjoy it. I feel more determined to do this. Do I tell my doc? Will I have to resceduale? Funny thing is my live pain went down significantly the last few days. Now its starting to come back.

Its day five of this liquid crap. I'm craving a burger sooooo bad. I need something other than chocolate or vanilla. No way can I do this for two weeks. My head hurts constantly. If I cook up a small filet steak would the set me back. I just need to eat something with substance. I want to work out but I'm very weak and this headache won't stop. I've lost 12lbs since I've started. What do I do.

Can't I reschedule my date(23rd). Just kidding. Your right if I had to cook for people it would be extremely difficult, your stronger than me. I told all the friends not to come by and I'm not going anywhere. I'm paid up and ready for a healthy life. Having the surgery in Houston at the Davis clinic. Just had last shake of the night put some frozen berries in it. It was good no complaints, now can I make it the rest of the night? I must.

OMG. Day two of liquid pre op. this is so hard. I'm not going to give in but damn. Just walked to mailbox and neighbor is grilling up some steaks.

First, I'd liked to say I really have enjoyed this app and have found it extremely helpful. I'm 37, 315lbs. Four days out from start of liqud diet. Right now I'm having pain in my fatty inlarged liver. Doc says the diet will shrink it so hopefully it will stop hurting. I'm very excited about having this surgery done.
