I'm 4 days in and it's not that bad. I have to do a two week liquid diet.It's anxiety. It can manifest its self as being cranky, and easily irritated. I have anxiety, I know that if I get extremely stressed I get angry and easily annoyed.Joatsaint hit the nail on the head. I had mine today. I was at the hospital a total of two hours. The worst part for me was the bit guard I gagged while waiting to fall asleep which took 20 seconds.I am on 40 grams or more of Protein shakes as Meal Replacements, and clear liquids. I have a huge list of the clear liquids I could share if you'd like. It basically boils down to diet juices and sugar free Popsicles, broths, Water, decaf coffee. I am already giving up coffee. I figure i'll quit that now rather than after the surgery and deal with the withdrawal.It's not pass/fail. You have to wear a cpap from now on. I have had one for three weeks. It took a few days to adjust to but now it's fine. When you have your surgery you'll need to bring your cpap. This shouldn't prevent anything. I had 27 occurrences and hour while I slept. I have 13 days until surgery!!It wasn't bad at all.Just got home from having my EGD. Wasn't too bad. The worst part was having the piece put in my mouth that keeps it open. I am a gagger and started to gag. But they knocked me out pretty quick. I have a slight sore throat. Like a 1 out of 10 on the pain scale. 13 days to go!!Congrats!!!I'm having surgery on 3/4 in Marlton.Congrats!! I am on the 4th too. I just started my Pre op diet today. So far it hasn't been too bad. But I have 13 more days like this to go.I have my Protein Shakes all prepped. I don't have any of the clear liquids. I guess I will do that tomorrow. Fortunately I have tomorrow and Tuesday off. I have my EGD on Tuesday. I'm guessing I will have to fast for that. My last meal was heart stopping Mac and cheese. Won't have that ever again!!!Any 3/4 sleevers starting their two week Pre op diet tomorrow? What was your last meal? What diet are you on? Maybe we can use this thread to help get us through the day. I'm on 3 Protein shakes a day and Clear liquids only. Clear liquids encompasses a wide range of items.That seems so stupid. My surgeon scheduled my egd first two weeks prior to my surgery in case there were issues.
