Does anyone know how soon after the operation lifesaveremt had his clot and passed away? I have been in shock since last night when I read the news :( I know you're at increased risk of clots about a month post surgery...so don't forget to walk people! If you work in an office (or anywhere you have to sit long periods) make sure to clench calves and pump your feet to keep the blood going!

RIP lifesaveremt, prayers to all your loved ones. This has completely freaked me out as well. My brother had clots in his thighs & lungs almost exactly 1 month after his knee surgery & my mother has phlebitis. Scares the heebygeebies outta me. In wonder if I should just call my docs office in a few weeks and tell them to scan me, l. I'm so not passed doing that! Prayers to everyone!

My prayers are with his loved ones. I haven't learned anything about how far out he was. It really has me scared. My surgeon puts all of his patients on blood thinners. Is anyone else going to be put on blood thinners?

      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.
