sorry to hear that you haven't a hard time.. my thoughts and prayers with you. Once you get some iv fluids in you and some antibiotics you will feel so much better. Did they confirm that you had a PE?

Thanks to EVERYONE for the kind words of encouragement & inspiration!! I have pulmonary embolism and I'm currently on blood thinners to get rid of the clots..I'm very dehydrated but hopefully the iv fluids will help me with that. The way that I'm feeling I know it can't be worst so it's only uphill from here...thanks you guys!!!

Ok silly woman on all the meds, it's downhill / easier from here on out please! No more bad stuff! LOL

ok sorry, I don't want you to giggle because that probably hurts like hell right now. Please know that we're all here for you and pulling for you. Pneumonia isn't all that uncommon after surgery unfortunately. Now that you're in the hospital (sucky place to be, but it's a good thing you're getting the care you need right now!) you'll be getting the good drugs and kick it out of your system asap! Is your surgeon part of your team of doctors right now?

I feel so bad for you *hugs!* and wish you were home and comfy and recuperating. Like my mom tells me "Can't you just do things the easy way?!" lol

Feel better soon!

xoxo, Renee`

      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?

      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.
