Awe man! I am so sorry!! I've always read your posts because your cute pic w the banana catches my eye.

What's the black stuff in the photos?

I am so glad that you didn't wait to get help and that the hospital didn't delay your care.

Hugs!!

Hello!!!

The care has been so rapid and very minimal pain. I don't know what the black stuff is. I thought the stint in the dark? When I see my surgeon I am going to ask. :)

It could be the thicker part of the stent, but look at the bottom left photo. The top part of the stent is silver. I'm just curious....

Hello.

I am curious as well. I shall ask because I think your right, it's silver. My only other guess is its dark in there? Haha. No idea. I am going to ask my surgeon when I see her tomorrow and then we will know.

I can't thank you enough for the support through this difficult time. *hugs* i am appreciative

      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.
