Hi Jennifer!

Nice to hear from you. Are you talking about thyroiditis? That is just an inflammation of the thyroid and should be treatable with meds, I'd think.

I have hypothyroid and take meds for that, but it predates my banding. I don't know what might cause an inflammation; do your doctors have any idea?

hey alexandria,

i remember chatting with you in my beginning worries after the surgery. Your pic changed....you look well.

My doctor said it was stressed induced. but, if the pain dont go away in a week or so i should go back and then we have to schedule a cat scan and a sonogram. he said sometimes there are growths on the thyriod. Hope it goes away.

Just checking since this is the most informative site out there.

I remember you, too. Looks like you're doing great! :mad:

Your doctor has the right idea, best to find out what it is and get it taken care of. Don't worry! There's a million benign things it could be.

Take care! :(

      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.
