Thank you. I was like you and more nervous about the EGD for the same reason. My fears were calmed when I had several coworkers tell me it was a piece of cake and you are just asleep through it. Good luck with yours too! :-)

Thanks so much. I'm told that some put you to sleep and some give you a sedative to just calm the nerves. We are obviously tough, or we wouldn't be planning to do what we are planning to do!!!

My surgery date is 3-12-13. Everything is complete and I had my preop labs today. I am so excited but I am also fearful!! I have not even told my children I am having the surgery and I don't think I will until post op. I know I would get opposition from them so I choose to not tell anyone and that is why I sought out this forum' date=' for support, encouragement and someone to talk to that knows exactly what I am feeling and then I hope to help others in the same way.[/quote']

You tell whomever you feel comfortable telling. Exactly half of my family is supportive and the other half just tell me to diet and exercise. Oh, wow, what a novel concept. I sure never thought of that before!

I also have to stay under 1000 calories and consume 40-60 grams of Protein. However they want me to stay low carb. Most (not all) Protein Bars are high in carbs. The only low carb ones I have had before are the Atkins. I see quite a few people comment on the good taste of the Premier shakes...are they chalky tasting at all?

I really like the taste of the Premier shakes. No chalkiness at all. I read some reviews and some people complained about lumps but most of those were a year old or so. They must have gotten the recipe right because I haven't had any issues with that...all liquid, no clumps. It tastes like chocolate milk to me :).

The premier brand of protein bars I bought are about 25 grams of carbs so I've been limiting those to one a day. They have a yogurt covered peanut crunch that tastes really good.

Two shakes a day, a Protein Bar and an apple or orange for a snack and then a reasonable dinner. But i went off course last night. We went to Souper salad for dinner. Who would think you could blow your diet at a Souper Salad. Unfortunately they didn't have a low fat / no fat dressing so I went with oil and vinegar. Didn't count on the sugars in the balsamic vinegar...ugh.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
