I get my endoscopy tomorrow and I'm so nervous! I think the closer my surgery date everything is sinking in: THIS IS HAPPENING! Checked in with my insurance (Cigna) today and it's still pending. It was submitted 10/17 so it's only been 4 business days. Going to follow up on Friday. Can anyone send some kind words for tomorrow? Getting weirdly emotional towards the end of the pre-op journey [emoji85]

Endoscopy is a breeze!! You will not remember anything at all. When you wake up you will have a little sore throat. That's all. I am a week out from surgery and on liquid diet.... this has been a challenge but you just keep the goal in mind and you can do this....all of this. Good luck to you!

@CamillaCalliethe diet suck point blank. I kind of like the chocolate shakes so that's what I drink all day. Maybe I will add a popsicle. I can't wait until this is over.

I started my pre-op VLCD a couple days early, just cause I have a lot of weight to lose and really need to shrink my liver down for surgery. Went with option 1 (see pic) and, jeez, I gotta say this is a pretty expensive diet. shakes are so expensive!

I drink four a day (two SlimFast and two Premier), plus one cup of Jello and one small dinner of 3 oz of meat with 1 cup of veggies. I like having my meals basically planned for me, so I'm finding this to be mostly pretty easy. I still dream of pizza and cheeseburgers lol but I've made peace with the fact that I've eaten more than enough junk for ten lifetimes and don't need it anymore.

@bogglesaucei wish I could my choice on what I can have for my diet, but my Dr office provide all my meals that I can have for two weeks and I only can have what they give me besides Jello and popsicles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
