Bread, dry turkey, chicken strips. First fill on the 1/8, I get hungry between meals right now but if I eat a meal I get full. I will be glad when no christmas cookies or left. Strangely it seems that I could eat all the cookies I want. I hope that changes after the first fill, Haven't done bad though 41 lbs. since start of liquids in November. Good Luck everyone.

11/24/08 at 0730 at Vanderbilt Hospital. I am now on the pre-surgery diet of Carnation Instant Breakfast. I did have an episode this morning where my blood sugar dropped to 52. Has anyone else had this problem?

After I was approved they contacted me in a couple of days and scheduled my surgery, pre-ops and final Drs. visit at Vanderbilt. Scheduled for 11/24.

I was told by My dietician that the pre-op diet is the hardest and would make you feel bad. What has been your experience with the diet and as the one of the earlier posting do you hunger for certain foods?

Does anyone know why, Is because the med may erode the gastric lining?

I have a lot of sinus headaches due to allergies can I take Ibuprofen.

I am a 52 year old male, I live in Bowling Green Ky and work as a paramedic. I have had a weight problem since I was a senior in high school. I have lost and gained several good sized people using phen-fen, low carb, Nutri system ETC. I had no health problems until a couple of years ago when my blood pressure started to rise and my ldl went up. Now I have a reason to lose weight other than vanity but I just yoyo. I am seeing the doctors at Vanderbilt. I am almost done with the prerequisites for insurance approvel except the support group and I am looking to join a group online. I have tried to find a support group but the only local is on a night I have a class. Has anyone used to online support to satisfy the weight loss group and insurance company.
