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.
