Wow it does appear your doctors are good! I do hope your infection will clear up in time if not it shouldn't be too long before you will be ready. Best wishes and let us know how it goes.

I hope you start feeling better soon. That's really awesome you have a good group of medical professionals around you.

That pred will make you thirsty, and possibly hungry, but it will dry up your sinuses. Don't get upset if the scale stalls a bit because of the Water retention. You may already know those side effects, but thought I would throw them out there.

Hope - sorry to hear you're feeling poorly - I am sure the shot and the medicine will have you back to par by Monday - hang in there and drink LOTS of water!

      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.
