Recommended Posts

So glad to hear you found out what was wrong and it isn't super serious. I hope the flare doesn't last long and your road to healing doesn't have anymore rough spots. I haven't yet had my surgery but I agree with you, there are a lot of very special people on this site who love each other and have never even spoke to one another let alone met. My prayers are with you for speedy recovery :}

Alright my second guess was right' date=' it's another costochondritis flare up. Without being able to take the NSAIDs I need, they're sending me home with Tramadol and I have to ice my sternum every hour. Uuuugh. Oh well, nothing I haven't dealt with before and at least it's not a leak!![/quote']

Im having a flare up right now also. Started yesterday and I'm just miserable. I already take 5 tramadol a day for other pain and its not helping. Hope you feel better soon!

Sorry to read about your problems. I too have more than occasional flareups of chostoc..., and have wondered what I would be able to take for it since being sleeved. Does ice help you? Usually a nice heating pad strapped to my chest helps me out.

Feel better soon.

Hey Liz. I was going through a dramatic phase and haven't cooked. See my post I've been traumatized and reading your post freaked me out too. But thank god your ok. Thank god! I was so worried I checked your post like once every five minutes. Lol. My bf kept asking me why I'm on the phone am I talking to some one. Lol well here's what I made today. Which consists of Campbell's cream chicken and a can of lactade non fat, and as much seasoning as I could muster. Lol. Trying hard to feel normal again.

      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.
