after 8 attacks since mY they finally found it!



Recommended Posts

Ive had 8 times that I can actually remember pain from "ow that really hurts" to like the last 2 big attacks being "you already gave me morphine 2×? You couldnt have!" It finally came back as having gallstones. They started 1 month post op and in 2 days I will be 4 months. I was told a month ago after 2 cat scans that I probably meeded an ultasound just to make sure but thanks to military cut backs I needed to be dying in orfer to have one. Waited 3 hours at another hospital to get one because waitng till monday after 3 weeks of already waiting wasnt going to happen. Lesson learned that you always need to be your own advocate! If they make you go in sircles, and no matter if at the moment of relief you feel like you wasted your time, remember it can probably happen again and "might be" is not answer.

That sucks gallstones hurt so bad. I had them the entire time I was pregnant with my daughter everytime they caused me excruciating pain they just said I was having Braxton hicks contractions. They didnt find them until after I had her and then I had to be on an iv in the hospital for a week because all my internal organs were infected for having them so long. That sucked too but the point of this whole story is it is much better once its out.

      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.
