I meet with the surgeon again today, pre-op tomorrow, then Wednesday; THE BIG DAY!! I'm so excited, nervous, happy, scared....all rolled up in one. Prayers needed for healing and calming are appreciated!

My surgery is August 7th. I've been off methotrexate shots for two weeks and I feel pretty good. I'm taking OxyContin throughout the day, but not too bad!! Hope everyone is doing good.

August 5th sleevers, you are up! Praying for a quick and painless recovery!!!!

Day 12 of the liquid diet and today is horrible. I am so hungry today! I'm so close and can't give in now! Hurry up Wednesday!!!!

I'm at day 10 of liquid diet. I must say, jello sucks! If I ever see jello again it will be too soon. The carnation drinks are tolerable but...ugh! I guess that leaves flavored water. Hurry up Wednesday!!!!!!!!

Day 10 of liquid diet...I hate jello! The carnation shakes are not appealing anymore. Hurry up Wednesday!!!!!!

Day 10 of liquid diet....I think it's getting easier! I find myself not wanting the carnation shakes anymore. At this point jello makes me gag. So, it's pretty much flavored water. Hurry up Wednesday!!!!

The EDG was fine. Nothing big to worry about. When they tried the first time I threw up. They gave me more meds and I passed smooth out. I don't remember a thing. I just have a little sore throat and that's it! Bring on the surgery that's WEDNESDAY!!!!!!

[quote=holidayexpressions]Well day two of the liquid diet. Day 1 sucked beyond belief. Was fine until about 6pm last night. Had the worst migraine ever so that was no fun. Up at 5:45 to go to work for a 24 hour shift. We will see how this goes.... Yuck!!!! Hang in there. I would say it will get better but I'm day 9 and it sucks!!!!! Keep looking at what we are working for. We are so close!!!!

Haha! Right now I am scheduled for August 7th. Hey, just look at your cheat day a lesson learned. Start back and fresh tomorrow and make the best of it. It's so hard and I have cheated too. No more...we can do this my sleeve sister!!!

Broth???? I wish I could have broth!!!!

I can have 1 cup of SF jello, carnation instant breakfast made with water, and SF Popsicles. Ugh!!!!

That is about what I'm getting too!!!

Oh thank goodness! Just the idea of the procedure scares me. I was more nervous about this than the actual surgery. Crazy, I know! Lol.

Has anyone had an EDG? Is it bad? Pain? Do you remember it???

Thank you all so much for the support!!!! Six more days, I can do this!!!! I will do this!!!!

Day 8.....it sucks!!!!!

I have my EDG tomorrow morning. I'm a little scared. How did it go for everyone? Do you remember having it? Did it hurt???

I have six days left. I'm cranky as can be!!!!

[quote name="holidayexpressions]I was told just do Water and yogurt for 3 days prior to surgery. So am I insane for starting the 14 day liquid diet like everyone else??? Figured I might as well get a head start and get use to the diet for post op. Today is day 1' date=' lets see how this goes.[/quote'] WOW! Good for you. No you are not insane, just getting prepared. Good for you!!!!

My EDG is in the morning at 7:00. Just wondering how it was?????

How much broth can you have a day? I wish I could have some so bad!!!!

A FB page is a great idea. I will be sleeved August 7th. Right now the pre op diet is a killer!!!!
