Wow! This is bound to be difficult on both you and Mr. Yoda. I hope she makes a good recovery. My thoughts are with you both.

Awwe, give Mr. Yoda a big hug from me, and hug yourself too.....(?). Sorry that didnt make alot of sense. Hopefully now she's on blood thinners, she'll be good. Stressful for you and Mr. Yoda, though, especially when there's a distance. Thats gotta suck. Will you be going back down to visit? Take care, give yourself a break!

Sorry for your troubles Yoda. My dtr in law had a blood clot in her lung after she was on bedrest with the twins. she too was on blood thinners for 6 months. it is a very scary and dangerous situation. I'm glad that it was caught in time for your mom in law. Sounds like the docs are taking good care of your mominlaw.

Thanks guys; appreciate the good thoughts.

Cloe: you made Mr Yoda's day....all he can say now is, "Cloe hugged me"....and does a lil' dance! It really doesn't take much to please him, does it?!!! He says it is because he is "starved for affection" WHATEVER!!!!!!! I don't THINK SO!!!!! (he will be NOW!).

Thanks Cloe....I have a doc. appt with the specialist (endocrinologist) tomorrow...he is the one who really went to bat for me and recommended me for the surgery etc.....(long story) and he put his reputation on the line for me (& a few others).....so I reallllllllllllllllllllllly wanted to be able to sincerely tell him that I've lost SIXTY pounds (just sounds better than saying 59!)....and now I will be able to do just that!! It's important to me that he see that what he did was a good thing and NOT all for nothing!!! So I am excited to see him tomorrow and tell him.

      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.
