Ahh shucks, you guys are making me blush, but thanks, I just like to keep my hands busy, thats all, I just do stuff while I'm watching TV at night. To bad it couldnt be something that burned more calories, though!!

Angel Bear, that particular craft show was a good one!

I keep thinking I'd like to sell some of my stuff on E-bay, but I'm not quite sure if it's worth it or even how to do it.

A CRAPPY UPDATE.....

I don't want sympathy, I just need to unload, and you guys are great for bearing the brunt of it, sorry.

I found out this morning that my kidney infection has returned, which would explain why I havnt felt great lately, so back on antibiotics AGAIN!! Then to make matters worse, I get on the scale this morning and I'm back up 2 POUNDS!!! That was worse then hearing about the stupid infection. I've been really good, too. I have been feeling rather tight the last couple weeks, so I'm not sure where those 2 pounds came from. So, Im feeling sorry for myself today, I'll feel better tommorow!!!:cry

Cloe,

Hugs, I agree with Yoda and your body knows you're sick and is helping itself - just hang in there. U r doing great!

I did the E-bay thing for awhile with my gift baskets - seems everyone is doing them now - and the sales out of province (while a pain for mailing etc were great) but setting up an account etc was time consuming. I haven't kept it up and now just do special orders. Craft shows were slow this Christmas too. Lots of ppl but not lots of sales for any of the crafters.

Let us know how you're feeling! (again hugs and hydrate hydrate!!)

You haven't PEED in 4 days?! I'm assuming you must be talking about that cause of the kidney infection... but then again, maybe you'd be dead not peein' for 4 days... I dunno.

If you're talkin' about the other "bathroom... yeah... things are rough for me too. Breakin' out the MoM again tonight, and I'm gonna KEEP takin' that damn Benefiber. (I bought the chewable ones, cause I thought I'd take them for sure that way.. but they're grooooss!!!!)

at first i thought she meant pee too, but i think she's talking poo, cuz like u said, im pretty sure you'd be dead if u didnt pee for 4 days!

do those chewable benefibers swell up? do they go thru your stoma okay? would you recommend them (besides the taste?)

I don't think they expand, no. Actually.. if you think about it, they should be just like Benefiber powder, which doesn't 'bulk' either. If you can take the taste, yeah... for sure give 'em a try. I'm probably just a wimp. Dan's takin this 'Real Fiber' chewable things too, and he likes them. I think they taste way better than the Benefiber, but are much bigger, and a little dry (if that's possible). Doesn't matter though, cause they get chewed up, and I wash 'em down with Water.< /p>

      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.
