Back In The Hospital 3Rd Time :(



Recommended Posts

Yupp I was admitted tonight. The pneumonia is so bad that more than half my left lung is collapsed and filled with Fluid. And there is still an abcess in my belly which they can't figure out. So I keep praying and hoping God gets me through this. The doc will most likely drain my lung tomorrow then he will perform surgery and go in to get a better look at the abcess. Oh this is quite the experience.

I'm so sorry you've had all these complications I myself know exactly what it's like having pneumonia I was hospitalized for it a couple years back and almost died from it....mine was due to negligent hospital staff and had nothing to do with my rny (only 15 weeks post op) but it was horrible! I hope that they can figure everything out quickly so that you can enjoy the benefits of having rny! Take care, get lots of rest, keep us updated.......and last but not least have a speedy recovery!

So sorry to hear of your woes. When praying remember to thank the Lord for good health. Claim it before it happens and trust and believe that it WILL happen!

Also I'm sending up a healing prayer as well...be strong baby girl and all is going to be alright.

      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.
