I just noticed a fever of 100.1. Hell's bells, I hope it's temporary. Gonna lay down now with my doggies. I was so excited to catch up on posts but suddenly not up to it. I'll have to catch up with the boards tomorrow.

Peace and love (say it in your best Mexican accent.)

Lisa: A fever post op is not surprising. IT is your bodies way of coping and getting back on track. But that said I would watch it closely and take some Tylenol. If it keeps rising then make a phone call.

You are in my prayers.

Lisa, I am keeping you in my prayers. I truly hope that everything goes well for you and that you recover quickly and with no more complications. I'll be watching for your posts to see how you make out in Mexico this weekend. My heart goes out to you. May God bless you and keep you in his care. Denise

sleeping tight, that's so funny. You'll see my earlier post where my phone rang at 1:44 a.m. with a very drunk friend who needed a ride home. We've told all our friends to please call us if they ever decide to drive while drinking, so hubby was nice enough to get out of bed and take the drunk home. She's gonna be one hurting pup when she gets up.

When he got back, he was wide awake, and he found me on the boards. It's been 8 years since he's asked me on one of our special "after-midnight" dates, where we go to the casino for 99cent b-fast. I knew I wouldn't be able to fall asleep with all these words trapped in my head, so we went out at 2am. He's being so romatic cuz we haven't done anything wild & crazy in nearly a decade.

So we got in the truck and there was a drunk driver in front of us that crossed all lanes at once and skimmed the wall on the freeway but kept going! Holy crap, she nearly killed herself yet kept driving. We were headed for the Strip, and she was in front of us the whole time. As we exited the freeway, she made her right turn but turned so wide that she missed all 3 lanes and ended up making the right turn in the 4th lane, which was the traffic flowing in the opposite direction! She nearly head-on collissioned the oncoming vehicles, so quickly drove up the curb and over the medium to get back into our northbound lanes and we watched as she nearly collided at top speeds with another vehicle. This girl was going to kill someone, so we called the police. They kept us on the line and had us follow her. It took about 10 minutes before a motorcycle cop was next to us, but dispatch asked us to pull over as witnesses. So we did, but the cop came over with a disgusted chuckle and told us we could split because he saw enough in the couple minutes he was behind her. The drunken dumshit had her emergency flashers on, crossing all the lines on Las Vegas Blvd. where the streets are flooded with cars and pedestrians at 3a.m. She looked about 30 with 2 twenty-something boys talking on the cell phone and not wearing saftety belts. So maybe hubby saved some lives tonight then took me to 2 casinos where we played and came home with $40 more than we started!

All that in just a few hours! Sorry for losing track of the post, but Penni, I thought of you the entire time. I, too, wasn't sure what hospital you'd be in. My cell wasn't working, and every time I had the opportunity to call you was either too early or too late. My TJ experience was like one of those dreams where you keep running but you can't get to your destination. You were on my mind the entire time and even Babs kept mentioning you. I'm glad you didn't have to get your port removed, but to tell you the truth, it feels damn good to have that thing outta me!

Someone on these boards had their port removed and said she'd rather go through surgery to have the port replaced long enough to fill her then remove it in the same surgery. That's how I feel today. After that bad port experience, I think I'd rather just go through surgery everytime I need a fill so I don't need the port. I'm sure I'll feel different after I recover.

Please give me a list of any all California doctors. Penni, aren't there any in the Valley or L.A.?

I think I'm sleepy enough to go back to bed. It's so weird to see light outside. What a long, weird few days it's been, and Auntie Em, there's no place like home!

I swear, when I was in TJ I felt like Dorothy in Oz and you guys were the Scarecrow, the Lion, the Tinman, Toto. Shelly, I saw your face in a crystal ball! I just kept thinking about you guys and wondering how I got in this predicament. Yes, big restriction. Had 2 baby PBs from just liquid. I'm supposed to be sleeping but my antibiotics are stuck in my throat, even though I took them piece by piece with choco-milk. Someone told me milk, so maybe I should stuck with plain. Next antibiotic will be with Water because they're just not going down fast enough.

Oh, and you guys don't know nothing about gas till you have a port removed! This is way worse than my original surgery. At least they're not foul! Husband is jealous (typical man.)

      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.
