Recommended Posts

Yes me too! I will give what I can.

On a side note I am home today. Ex MIL bought over fresh sheets and made my bed and my girlfriend heated up some broth for me to have before I have a sleep. My girlfriend and I have decided to call my sleeve Bella banana. Lol, I think it's kinda cute! So Bella banana and I are having our broth then are off to have a sleep!

I am completely overwhelmed by your generosity to me - a person you don't really know. I am speachless at your kindness. Though I can not accept any cash from you ( I have very generously been given as much time as needed by John Flynn to pay when I am back to work) I would love to arrange to meet with you before I go home and then perhaps again at the 6 th and 12 month mark? Truly, I feel as though I have friends in you all through what has been an especially tough period. God bless you all!

Had another setback today I am afraid. Ct showed more pooling in my abdomen so they are trying non surgical options with the drains but if it doesn't work they will have to reoperate. The upside is though that they found it earlier than last time so hopefully it won't be back to icu :) they are the sorts of silver linings right now

Hi Lila I am thinking of you and so sorry things are not as good as you hoped yet. Like you said, I think they are right on to it so it is great that they found this quickly.

Like everyone else here, I feel so helpless and wish there was something I could do to make things better for you - hence the offers of money as it seems the only thing that we all can do to give you practical help - can totally understand why you wouldn't feel comfortable with that. I just keep trying to send positive energy your way - I am not big on praying but would be willing to go there for you!

It is fantastic that you have caring hospital staff around you - it makes all the difference. All the best to your family too as they must be worried. Take care and keep smiling :-)

That's great Scotty!

Yes, I believe you may be correct - there could be some way of withdrawing for critical medical expenses.

      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.
