Spending a week at OHSU



Recommended Posts

Hey Gang, I'll be spending a week at OHSU next week for my Cushing's work up. Not sure where I'll be staying, other than close to the hospital. My DH is the self-designated the tour planner. :)

I thought I'd ask for some referals for some cool things to do, maybe we could get together for something, coffee, dinner, tours of the city...

I also was hoping to get some info on the bus system, since I'll be without a car. Which isn't a bad thing, given that I can't see in the dark... :) anymore.

Anyway, I'd really like to meet up with some of the Merry Bandsters.

I'll be finished with the testing round noon, or so I'm told, so that would be a great time. More details to follow!

As a coming home gift, I was given a half pound of Rwanda Blue Bourbon coffee...

Hey Crystal! Sorry I didn't catch this post earlier..not that I could have actually made it up that way right now. Working too much OT to go anywhere.

Hope things went well. Take care.

Hey Crystal

How's the Great Northwest? A trip to Powell's Bookstore is always an adventure - and we used to enjoy another one called Cameron's. It is much smaller - but if you like to rummage - it's a great place.

If you haven't tried coffee People - it's a nice alternative to the obligatory Starbuck's.

Wave at a mountain for me. I haven't seen one in AGES... one thing you don't get ANY of in Dallas is Mountains.

HUGS! Let us know how the whole testing thing comes out.

      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.
