With those burns you'll need to be VERY careful of infection.

I just read the thread about the garage and the fire. How are your legs looking now? Did you get burned anywhere else or just your legs?

I'm fine now and you can ask Amy you can barely tell where this happened. They use the skin off of your lower back. That and the debreiding were pure hell. It's been over 2 years now. I thought it was 3 but It has been 2. I've had neck and back surgery from a car wreck, and foot surgery to heel spur removed and now the band surgery since then. I'm tired of surgeries. I literally wanted to die during this. No matter how much morphine, deladid or what they give you it doesn't phase you.

Thanks for all of your well wishes. I heal up well. Even my scar stage pics looked great. My skin really does heal well thank God.

Love you 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.
