Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers.

The neurologist spent 1 hr and 45 minutes with me. He has order and MRI with and without contrast of the Brain and the Cervical spine. I go for these Wed afternoon. I will not get the results until I am back unless I can get them from my primary care. Anyway he told me that the first thing that comes to mind MS (Multiple Scerlosis) however he said if I had that then it should have shown up in an MRI I had a few years back.

I am just trying to get all this done and get ready for my trip I will be leaving in 30 hours YEAH!!!!!

Again Thank you guys so much and God Bless!

Amelia, I would ask if you can call and check in while you are on vacation. Maybe give the office permission to give results to a family member as soon as they are available. I'm sending positive thoughts your way. Please make sure you have access to medical attention if needed while you are gone. We are here if you need to talk or need anything. Don't hesitate to ask. ~Mandy

HI all, I was up until 3 am this morning researching LB I've registered here and at OH. I've also posted an intro post on the intro page. I'm seriously considering the surgery, still researching and I'm hoping to attend a seminar this Saturday. I think I'd like to check Day One Health. I'd love to join your group. Several of you live near me. I'm in Plainfield.

      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.
