Ok' date=' so it wasn't so bad. I was doing my research to calm my nerves when I found out that I had the option of taking the course online. I called and cancelled my in person appointment, and just did it online. Looks like the ball is starting to roll. I filled out the questionaire at the end, and contacted the coordinator. I'm just waiting now on my evaluation appointment. I should have an appointment for that by the end of the day.

Here we go.

Well that's good that they had an online course and that you were able to fill out the paperwork online.

Spent the better part of the week in the hospital with severe palpitations. Had every test known to man' date=' but they can't figure me out. I think its the new med for HBP they were giving me. I'm home now. Still unknowing, still scared. Can't see my doctor until next week. Resting until then.

Oh my gosh you poor thing. I hope you get better and they can find out whats causing the palpitations. Rest and I'm wishing you the best.

Blood pressure is all over the place. I'm so very tired all the time. Ugh.

Linda

That's so not good. It's gotta be the BP meds. I hope you get in with the doc soon.

I have always wanted a big family and its nice to have my husbands family. I want to have a good relationship with them, I love their son. I don't get why either that daughter in laws or mother in laws don't get along especially when children are involved. That sucks about her mother, but so wonderful that she has you.

I have seen the Rosetta Stone software at this store on base, I will have to get that after we move. Sorry I have been off this site for awhile, I was really sick and then had a lot going on. Still feeling sick and I have to get another surgery for my back, but I will see about that when we move.

I'm glad you're on good terms with your inlaws. The more the merrier, right?

I was sorry to read that you've been sick. I worried. Stress can really do a number on us. Although it sucks having medical problems on top of it. I hope you're somewhat better now. Remember to breathe. Long deep breaths through the nose and blow it out through your mouth, like you're blowing bubbles. Its great for relaxation.

Hang in there.

Linda

Well then at least your daughter will be happy either way. My husband thinks his different methods like drinking coffee help by giving is a son....lol.... I think it was luck to......lol

Wow you even made your own noodles, very impressive, I wouldn't know where to begin. I'm going to try to make chicken noodle Soup, but in the crock pot when we move. I love the way beef stew taste after sitting in the crock pot over night or throughout the day.

Sounds great! I'm with you about certain things tasting better the next day. Noodles are really easy. I don't have a recipe. lol The crock pot is the most underrated tool in our kitchens. I think people forget they have them.

That's what I'm thinking. I cut my dose in half, and it seems to have helped. I can't shake the fatigued feeling though. Its like I'm walking through Water.

One would think so. Add cholesterol and triglycerides and I think we have a party. The problem is jumping through all the hoops to get it approved.

Right!!! :)

I have my good days and my bad days, but I can't let it stop me. I have so much to do, just gotta keep pushing through the pain. When I have been feeling stressed I try to get outside and walk it helps.

I hope you are feeling better. That's pretty scary how you were feeling. Did you find out any information on getting started with the lap band? Take care and I will be checking in as much as I can.

      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.
