Nah this one was triggered by a video game...so now we have to go through additional testing as it blows a whole in their initial theory. We want to get it straightened out soon....If that means medicine then so be it. But she is allowed to get her learners permit in another month and I really don't feel comfortable letting her till we know that she won't have one while driving.

Melissa-That sounds so scary about Kristen. Has this happened before?

I have desided to hold off on my fill until I get back from the cruise. I dn't want to have any trouble on the trip.

Lucy is much better today. She is back to her crazy puppieness

Wish we could afford a rollar coaster trip...but not likely any time soon.

Glad lucy is feeling better.

kristen has had two seizures previously. The first when she was in Germany when she was 12, and the second about a year ago. Both of those they decided were caused by lack of sleep. Since the tests all came back without any indicators they told us that it wasn't eplilepsy because they seem to only be triggered by lack of sleep. (We are fairly strick about bed time here and sleep time as a result here) This one was caused by something else, we believe it was the strobe lighting in the video game she was playing at chucky cheese. Since this is a second indicator for her, and it has been less than a year this opens us back up to maybe being considere epileptic. My dad is, and his started in his pre teen years as well. There isn't a whole lot of anwsers because they don't know why some people have seizures and others don't...they just knows what happens. Kristen has the grand mal (spelled wrong) type, she looses conciounces for 2-5 minutes and shakes violently. Until this time she has had no indicators that she is about to have one. This time she felt "funny" and actually told her friend she was with...I think I'm having a seizure... But that is the last she remembers really until we already had her in the car over 10 minutes later. The don't plan to see her until late in september, so apparently they aren't TOO concerned LOL.

My dad's surgery went fine, we won't know for awhile what the results were though.

Prayers to out to one and all! Seems we've all been through trials of one type or another lately.

I'm settled into my new office digs. I stayed late last night until I got everything unpacked. I cannot stand trying to work when everything's a mess! I just wish it was as easy to pack/unpack a whole house as it is to move an office cubicle! :huggie:

      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.
