My psych evaluation was pleasant and just basically Talked about my experience With diet and weight loss. It was only 45 minutes or so. And you only have to see him once. It was fine they just want to make sure that you're not cuckcoo for Coco puffs.. Lol

As I approach my pre-op Liquid diet On May 27 and my gastric sleeve surgery on June 11. I am wondering is there any thing that I should know that people wish they would've known before to be prepared.

I have my EGD done and it went well. You go in and take off just your upper clothes ( girls you can keep a sports bra on.. I did) they give u an IV for fluids and then When you go into the room they will send you the anesthesia through the IV but you are awake. They give you just enough so that you don't feel anything. They put a bite in your mouth so The scope goes through there in the doctor takes pictures of your Esophagus, the top part of your stomach, it goes inside your stomach to the small intestine and takes pictures. The whole process was really short like only five minutes. I felt completely fine afterwards. My throat was slightly sore the next day but that was it.

I going for my sleeve on June 11th. And I have been buying clothes for when I size down but only on sale or a really good price because you won't be wearing those clothes for long... Shopping is going to be so much fun I'm so excited for it too

Lol.. I understood... But It feels like a vaccine.. Ha ha

I love me some coffee with creamer and equal! Yum.. But my pre op and post op diet is caffeine restricted:( does anyone have any insight on the coffee topic?

Awesome I'm on June 11th... I have the ticker app that counts down!! Im. Three weeks five days And 12 hours away from my surgery... Lol.. Exciting is not even the word I'm ecstatic:)

All tips r appreciated!! From the littlest things like your scars healing to the liquid diet and more:)

You will push through it... It's hArd but you've come this far and I read it gets easier so keep up the good work

Ha ha .. That's the best part!!! Congrats to u:)

Great at least I know my coffee restrictions aren't forever:) Glad you are doing well post op:)

Me too I love my coffee:) So it will be hard to kick, but I think I could have a cup of decaf with vanilla protein powder and the dietitian said it taste pretty good... So I'm a give that a try

I'm a June 11th sleever!!! And we are in great company it is almost our turn... Does your doctor have you going on a preop liquid diet for two weeks?
