Alexra-I hope that everyhting is OK. Hopefully you are just irritated. I heard someone at work saying that their allergies are horrible this year. Maybe that is it. Good luck and let us know how you make out.

I think we're all in for it with allergies this year. :) Ali, I hope you're feeling better! Try Sudafed or some other decongestant. I think that's what I did wrong this past time and I'll be more aggressive about treating congestion the next time it occurs.

Glad to hear you're following through on the testing, Seppi! I hope they find something easily treatable. :D

Had the HIDA scan, apparently the gallbladder has no stones but isn't functioning the exact way that it should. The nurse called and said it was at 30% but I don't know how bad this is. She said that the doctor said I can go ahead and get a fill but if the gallbladder starts to bother me again (not too bad lately) I should have it out. Does anyone what the functioning number should be? I am leaning to waiting to see what happens, will the problem go away?

On another note, something weird has happened the last 3 days. I have no fill and up until 3 days ago, no restriction. Then all of a sudden some restriction. No pain just a bit of fullness and 1 PB, a small one but i think it's because I took my 2 enormous Vitamins and then drank some protien shake. Is this strange or what?

      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.
