Surprising she's doing pretty good. Has a few days when she's really discouraged but she's extremely strong and determined. I'm very proud of her ;). Thank you for asking ;)

I'm so sorry to hear about your daughters complications I also had similar complications after my surgery on jan 28 2013 I was admitted to hospital three times in two weeks the last time I was admitted I had three upper gi's and I was on tpn and they found I had a stricture because I could not hold anything down and they finally got my stricture taken care of by putting a tool and stretching it open, my doc said that if that didn't work he suggested the RNY and thank God it worked, so I went home on tpn thru nurses home care for 4 weeks, I had two picc lines but I started slow on liquids and today I'm 7 weeks out and I can tolerate chicken and fish no beef or pork but I'm doing much better and I hope the same for your daughter!

VST Addict. Thank you for the info. There are no strictures in my dtrs case. Shes had UGI's and they did an Endoscopy. She had surgery today and they removed her gall bladder. It was large and tense which means it needed removal. From losing so much weight so fast the gall bladder developed sludge. We're hoping for the bet ;)

      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.
