I had to do a 30 day skim milk diet preop and can tell you the worst are the first few days, after about a week I tended to lose my appetite and it didn't really bother me too much. I wish you good luck it takes work but it can be done!

Topic: WEDNESDAY GRATEFUL POST
Sorry I am posting this tuesday night. My son who has been in Teen Callenge for 10 months got a phone call today from them ( he's been home for 29 days with MAJOR health issues ) was told that if he came back he would have to re-start his 12 months. He had 2 months left. So early in the AM we are driving down to get all of his belongings there. PLEASE keep us in your prayers. Although I am in unbelief about their decision....I am OK with WHO my son is now. He IS a man of God. HE is the man who God wanted to be in the beginning. I do Thank Teen Challenge for all the things that tthey have done to prepare him for his future. IDK why they decided what they did but I do know that MY GOD is in control. Today I am SO grateful for that program and the lives that are changed forever because of Teen Challenge Centers for men, woman. and teens. PLEASE keep us in your prayers as I drive for 11 + hours. PLEASE share with us if you will what you are grateful for today. Have a blessed day today.

Hi Saphy
Sorry you had such an awful time. I am 59 and have been on just about every diet in the western world (and one eastern too).
I had doctor's letters (gp, ent, cardiac) and my surgeon requires a day of testing. It took about two months to get the insurance approval, but I finally had my surgery on June 13th.
The post surgical time was much worse than I was led to believe. I had a lot of pain, and it is still uncomfortable. I have one section that was cut and held with seven stitches.
I am just back to work today, 6/19.
It was a quick procedure - in at 11:30, sat around waiting and finally in for preop at about 1:30. Once out of recovery, I was down for a barium drink (to be sure everything was okay) and then home. He prescriped percoset for pain (I needed it that evening and the next day) and was going to provide pepcid, but I was already taking nexium so I continued to do that.
Since you have time - make your own broth. The store-bought ones are very tasteless. I had stomach growlling and gas, but wasn't starving but hungry.
I'm sure you will do well with the surgery.
