I'm in Mexicali with Sarsar. Her surgery is tomorrow so please send out lots of good thoughts and prayers! She had dinner tonight with Lynn and my son, I slept through it...dangit! She is an absolute sweetheart, she even brought me a gift bag that made me smile. I'm so glad I'm here with her and we can do laps around the nurses station together lol

I just wanted to give all of you a little update on Renee`. She is in the room next to me and had her surgery yesterday. She is having a hard time and has been really sick. She has been up a few times today and I have spent time with her in her room. She is starting to look a little better. Please send some prayers her way! I keep telling her that she will be feeling better very soon. I know you are all wondering about her so I wanted to let you know how she is but I will let her update all of the details when she is ready.

OH thank you for letting us know- is it nausea? I hope they have strong drugs for that. With her fibro I now she faces more problems than some. Please tell her Meggie is praying and thinking of her. I have been thinking of her constantly since you guys got to Mexico. Tell her it WILL get better- just relax and don't worry about anything but turning her self inward to rest and heal.

Hi Meggie, Lynn here. No, it wasn't nausea but dry heaving. The fibro only played a part in it insofar as Renee having a very high tolerance for pain meds. Once they figured that part out things started turning around pretty quickly. She has been up walking around and has been sipping, sipping, sipping. She got through her first leak test with flying colors, or rather no color at all! ;-)

      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.
