She had brain surgery in April for swelling around the brain. No cure-made her go deaf. Biopsy of a tumor on her pancreas in April. Heart surgery 6 weeks ago. Monday is surgery for a large anuresm between her heart and stomach. I've cancelled my sleeve surgery twice to be with her. I have faith that she will be ok. I need to get my sleeve to help me be healthier so I can take care of her.

I remember you having to postpone your surgery. I am so sorry your mom is having these issues. You are wonderful for being there with her and helping her through all of this. My thoughts are with both of you. Please keep us posted on how she is doing.

Could you post the time you are in the chatroom including CST or PST for example? I am in Central time and have no clue where anyone else is.

thanks

Tiffy is in Florida so whatever time zone that is. I am on the west coast so I am on Pacific time. I usually open the chat window and leave it open while I do other things. That way, there is a door bell that rings and when someone enters the chat room, I can hear it and know that somebody wants to chat.

I suggested we set up a regular chat night and time and try to work it out during a time that is convenient for a lot of people.

Leaving the chat window open also works fine for me, cause I am usually on my lap top in the evenings, so even if I am on another site, I can hear the doorbell ring and go back to the chat room.

I'm sorry I disappeared. A friend of mine is going through a really bad break up with her boyfriend who just returned from a deployment, and she needed to talk.

I'm in the NW panhandle of Florida so I'm on CST. I usually pop in between 9-10pm CST, and leave the chat window open. I rarely go into the chat during the day because I never find anyone in there.

I think CST is only 1 hour ahead of PST Daisy - I'm hoping to be able to get into chat one of these nights if things ever calm down (and I can get through all of the posts that accumulated while I was on vacation)

Yes I found out last night that tiffy is 2 hours ahead of me. I thought it was 3.

A new gal who is in AZ has been coming in. I talked to her on the phone today too, and she is very nice. She is only 3 weeks out of surgery.

Chat is starting to pick up! I am really happy!

      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.
