I am putting this on here for support for a freind.

As many of you know whippledaddy has posted here many times and has always shown everyone support.

Well he is in need of your support and prayers.

On July 20th Ryan had emergency brain surgery. It was found that he had a had a cancerous tumor on his brain. During the surgery they were able to remove it all.

He now has to have raditation on it, then have his left kindney taken out because that is were the cancer started. He alert and orientated and very positive about this for he is a healthy man with cancer.

He is still in the hospital getting rehab as he has lost the use of his right side after surgery. Dr says that it will all come back and in three days of rehab his wife PAtty reports she sees a big improvement.

Hopefully he will be home by Aug. 10th. Then he will start radiation on the brain.

Please keep him in your prayers.

Greg, thank you so much for sharing this news. If widespread healing thoughts count for anything, Ryan will be well-supported through this! Please tell Patty we are all thinking of both of them through this trying time. Big strong vibes for strength and healing and peace for them both. :hug:

What is going on? This is the third friend/acquaintance I've known to be diagnosed with a brain tumor in the last month! :omg:

      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.
