Start:275 lbs

I am having my endoscopy/colonoscopy on 5/19, then initial cardiology appointment on 5/24. Surgery approval not complete yet. Just hoping everything goes smoothly. I only work part-time in the summer which can be a blessing and a curse.

Good luck from one Christine to another !

O.k. I must vent a little here. I am in day 3 of the preoperative liquid diet and today is hard. I am hungry. There seems to be reminders of food everywhere. I have turned off the tube. Too many commercials and I was watching "The Chew". Bad idea! What are some tips and tricks to get through this?

Find distractions - read, go for a walk, color, go shopping (not for food lol), write in a journal, write a list of why you're doing this and what you want to do after weight loss!! Stay Strong!

Thanks so much!

My prayers are with you! Focus on why you are doing it! Keep us posted for the results. I meet with my dr July 5 to see when i will have my band removed and hopefully get a date for my sleeve

Must have made a break through yesterday. The frantic hunger is over on Day 7 of the 14 day pre-op liquid diet. I seemed to have settled into not eating and just drinking my meals.

I am 4 days post-op and I am feeling pretty good.

The first two days after surgery was the hardest. I was still very sore and felt nauseated. I could not throw up so I ended up letting out a bark with each heave. That part was awful. But it really only happened once the morning after I got home from the surgical center.

I really appreciated the consomee during the Clear liquids stage.

I am looking forward to the pureed food stage but I still have a week to wait. I have a hard time with waiting.
