Just heard from John!! Penni's DH. She is doing very well but very grogy :0) Operation went smoothly, no complications. He said that she said it was even less pain than the orginal operation. So 3 cheers for Dr.Billy:0) She will be kept overnite for observation & home by tomorrow evening. She is very thankful to all who have her in their thoughts. I am sure she'll be back on the boards within a few days.

We love you Penni & are so thankful your doing well.

Missed ya too Terri- Hope to be back on the board more this weekend but won't have time to do proper hellos till Sunday:0)

I spoke with the floor nurse, who said Penni wasn't up to taking calls :)

I've left messages for both her and John, plus I sent all our love through the nurse directly to her room.

Thanks Christina!

I've been trying her cell every other hour.

Inside I know she's not ready to talk to anyone just yet...I'm so glad we had time to talk before surgery, she's just so special.

Welcome back sweets

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
