:( So sorry. Call and see what you can take, If you can nip it now, you will probably still be fine.

Didn't I tell you to say away from the the cooties??? :wacko:

Only your MDs can say. But it'll be better if NO Fever!

Finally got a call back from the NP and she advised that as long as I do not have a fever, I should be fine. She said to sit my (fat) ass on the couch for the next two days, drink a lot (not alky-hall) and rest. I can take Tylenol cold up through tomorrow afternoon.

I sat out in the sun for an hour today and already feel better. Darn rug rats spreading their germs.

I own my own business so I am constantly telling me to sit my fat ass down or get my fat ass up or move my fat ass or...

And is your inner HR department reminding your inner supervisor that talking to your inner employee that way is an HR violation? :P

      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.
