Thank you. I kind of figured I would probably need to adjust it as I went along. When you say you drink straight protein are you referring to the http://www.newwhey.com/ type drinks? That's one of the one's I recently purchased for after surgery. My surgery is Nov. 2nd.

Hello. I am having my sleeve surgery Nov. 2nd. in Plano Tx. I can't figure out how to add my weight and height into my profile. Could someone explain that to me please Thanks.

Me too! I have always had a phobia of being put to sleep BUT I am going to have to get over that because I'm tired of looking and feeling this way about myself. I am having mine Nov. 2nd...

Maybe this will make you feel a little better. I think that the fact they didn't find anything is good news, but I understand your concern. Ask your doctor if it's possible the endoscopy could have missed anything like scar tissue etc..after reading this article though I think you're going to get good news http://www.webmd.com/digestive-disorders/upper-gastrointestinal-endoscopy

Did they do a Upper GI or Endoscopy on you? I would think either of those tests would give them a good idea if there were any issues

Skim milk?? Geeze. I honestly don't think I could do that.

I use Dr. Cribbins in Plano,Tx. as far as pre-op I can't have any meat, but at least I'm not starving. I can have oatmeal..healthy choice soups, jello, applesauce, low fat cottage cheese, fruit, salad with low fat dressing, protein shakes and that sort of thing. When I went for my pre-op tests today I mentioned that my friend (she used different dr.) had to drink only protein shakes for 2-3 weeks pre-op and the nurse said Dr. Cribbins didn't want to starve his patients pre-op he just wanted to get them use to eating less and introduce them to the shakes, because after surgery I wouldn't get to eat regular food for awhile. i've been so happy with him so far and nothing but good comments about him that I can find.

Nov.2nd. in Plano Tx. with Dr. Cribbins. I go for my preop. tests tomorrow morning.
