It is going okay, I am 6 days in and to the point I am not feeling hungry all the time. I am lucky I did not get the horrible headache also.

I had never been put under before my EGD, so I was terrified but it was so easy and quick. I was crackin jokes with the dr after I woke up. I haven't bought any Vitamins yet but my next dr appointment I'll be getting some! My nervousness went down a lot after the egd, but now that I know what it's like to be put under, the biggest thing I'm worried about is waking up after surgery in pain! I trust my dr and I'll continue to hope and pray that everything goes smoothly!

@borucuagirl955 how exciting the only Vitamins I bought are a multi Vitamin A bit that I think doesn't do anything so I need to find a really good one and Vitamin D because I had very low levels

I am so nervous about the pain as well but I am scared of how I'm going to react to food like mentally I will still be hungry and what not I think I'm going to be upset alot as a newbie I love food lol

      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!!
