Update!!! NOT THE BAND!!!



Recommended Posts

What a terrible and miserable day you have had. I hope both of you can just make it through and not think about the cancer right now, until you know for sure. I do think that docs do the wrong thing in being so casual about mentioning it before they have the facts. My heart is with you and I sure hope you will catch us up as soon as you know something.

Thinking of you and your husband.

Dani

Hi Everyone,

Haven't posted for a few days. Went for my Dr's appt on Tuesday and they put me in the hospital. Pumped me full of antibotics and had a Bronchscopy on Wednesday. Had the greatest Doctors, after looking over the CT and the Bronchscopy they don't think there is any cancer. But we have to wait for the results, but they are all pretty sure that it is pnemonia with an abscess on my lung. Possibly caused by aspiration pnemonia. I will have to be on Antibiotics for long term possibly up to 4 months or longer.

Thank you all for your concerns, sorry I haven't been able to let everyone know how things were going. I really appreciate all your thoughts and prayers this certainly has been a very trying time. I feel that we have finally found the problem and I am on my way to recovering it is just going to take some time.

I can't thank you all enough for your prayers, I will keep you all posted. (((((((((((Kathy)))))))))))))))

      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.
