Welcome Della! My surgeon is not requiring me to do a two week liquid diet. I just have to make healthy choices (I am a lower BMI). I did not have to have a colonoscopy but did have an upper endoscopy where he found a hiatal hernia which he will fix when he does my sleeve. I have not been told anything about nail polish. Good luck. This is an exciting time for all of us

Yep, I actually had and passed three...my original surgeon, local doc for follow ups and actual surgeon.
Here are some things I realized post surgery...I was a sneaky eater. By this I mean, I would look forward to being in the house alone and eating. I didn't recognize this behavior prior to surgery and there was nothing in the psych evals that touched on this. I would eat and graze while my husband and son were at baseball practice, then eat dinner when they got home. I think I thought of it or rationalized it as "snacking" - it wasn't, I now know it was "escaping". I would pick up something at a drive thru, pull the car over and eat it, then hide the evidence. (I'm actually tearing up while writing this because it brings back memories and pain.)
I never really explored the how or why I got to 256 pounds - I should have. But, you know what? I made it thru - I just think it may have been easier to identify this prior to having the surgery. I think pre-surgery counseling would have helped.
Even now, when I'm at the grocery store by myself, I will catch myself eying the candy or a bag of chips and those old impulses appear. I can now identify it and stop it, but they are still there sometimes.
I hope this helps.
It never fails to amaze me how much people on this site are willing to share, even when it's painful. Thank you.

Gosh I would love to go home same day! That would be totally awesome but I know I have to stay at least overnight because he does a leak test 24 hours post surgery.
Is everyone excited?

I spoke with my PCP earlier today and she said she is hoping to submit all of my paperwork to my insurance on Thursday! She was busy getting other peoples' prepared. I don't think it would be unreasonable to call her late Friday afternoon and see if she went through with it, is it??
That is not unreasonable at all. Good luck and I hope you hear back soon.

3Pugaliers have you talked to your doctor about the nausea? They should be able to prescribe some anti-nausea meds for you. Hope you feel better soon.

I am also a very picky eater but I am going to treat my smaller stomach like a new baby and try to have an open mind about ALL foods and try whatever at least once. I am hoping that with all the taste changes after surgery that I will like many new things that I try. I hope you find plenty of things that you like too.

Just happened again when I posted this reply and it posted it 3 times.

I was told not to gain even 1 pound. The insurance companies are getting stricter. But it really depends on your insurance co. You could just give them a call and ask them. Good luck
