Day 5 of the liquids - I'm nearly half way there.
I am still hungry, but not as ravenous as I thought I'd be. The hunger is mostly just a dull background feeling. Warm broth helps, as does jelly (at least for a few minutes).

Had an endoscopy (EGD) on Monday which wasn't as bad as it sounds, and my first iron infusion today. I didn't like that much, it was quite unpleasant. 4 more of them to go .


5 1/2 days to surgery !!!!!!!

I am 12 days away from surgery, the 10 day countdown of clear liquids starts day after tomorrow.
I am booked for a medial gastric bypass (which is somewhere between a proximal and a distal - I should have 60" of common channel left).
I am a little nervous, but also very excited.

I have been terribly good about the prescribed diet so far (small portions, no sugar, no caffeine, as little carbs as possible, NO bread, rice, pasta, potatoes, corn, etc etc etc) and I am trying to exercise every day.

However, in true fashion, the weight has been coming off very slowly, and keeps stalling  :-(

Tomorrow night I'll probably cheat a little bit with dinner, seeing how it will be my last  meal for so many weeks.
