My Dr sent me home with nausea meds and 2 different antacids. Room temp drinks work best so far. Thanks for your support.

How do you know the difference while walking if you simply have a cramp in your calf muscle or a blood clot? I'm not in terrible pain but don't want it to get worst either.. Or do blood clots not show any early signs?

How long ago were you sleeve, here is a little test you can try pull your foot while you leg is str8 toward you. If you feel any pain in your calf it is possible. But if you are feeling pain in your I wuld call your doc. Alos if it feels extrmemly warm and hot to touch call your doctor, if you see a red line call your Doctor. I would call your Doctor. Don't wait

No chances. Go to ER. I called 911 this morning because of chest pain I though was a blood clots on my lung. Thank goodness it was nothing but no chances on your life.

      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.
