Going Through Pms This Week And I've Noticed I'm Hungry
I got my sleeve on Sept. 19th, 2012 and it's almost 3 weeks now, I'm supposed to be on liquids only but the chicken broth is not doing much for me, I'm hungry after having it and having problems with sleeping :-( I'm so disappointed, I did do research and almost everyone said you really don't get hungry !! So Am I doing something wrong ??

Surgery Was A Success On 9/19/12
So had my sleeve done on 9/19/12 and the first day post surgery getting out of the recovery room was very hard, lots of pain on my neck, my mouth was very dry and my throat was hurting from the tube that was inserted, plus i think since i had a hiatal hernia and they did some work via my esophocus it felt worse :-( Overall though i have to say it was all worth it, now just have to get used the sipping and drinking lots of water all the day to avoid getting dehydrated as per Dr. Nish. 8/31/12 i weight in at 239 at Dr. Nish's office when i went in for surgery on Wed. 9/19/12 i was 228 lbs. this morning 9/23/12 i was 223 lbs. I'm very excited to go have gone through this, wished it would have been approved 10 yrs. prior. Very thankful with God family and friends, that everything went well.

High Liver Enzymes
So my surgery is scheduled for 9/19/12 and got a call my my PCD today that the blood work i re-took over the weekend still showed that the L.E. were high and my she (PCD) cannot clear me, she was off today, so im hoping that tomorrow i can get her to sign the consent, this liquid diet has me going crazy already, I'm so moody and i get headaches all the time :-( has anyone gone through this before, please leave me some comments, i would like to hear from everyone PLEASE !!

I Needed A Reminder;(
keep positive don't let it bother you !!

Surgery Approved !
I have Emblem HIP, just got the ltr. today indicating i was approved YEYYY !!! U have to see your surgeon for 6 months in a row to weight in and go through all the testing and then of course they submit it to your insurance carrier for approval. I'm 5'2 and my last weight before the liquid diet was 239, which is a bit too high when it comes to my BMI at 45 :-(. looking forward to having the surgery since ive been struggling with my weight since the age of 14-15. Going for it on 9/19/12, wish it was that date already bc this liquid diet is HORRIBLE :-( don't worry about the surgery just stay positive and think that it will all be worth it !!
