Rushed into observation, Awaiting blood and urine analysis. Next step is imaging and then a possible surgery consult...no real news yet but enough concern that I didn't wait at all to be seen...will keep y'all updated <3

I am finally home and feeling a bit better, after every imaginable test it was concluded that I had simply pulled a muscle/upset an incision site!! NO INFECTION! NO FURTHER INJURY!!

The doctor said it wouldn't have seemed so bad if I had continued to take my dilaudid (morphine) but due to some personal issues I stopped taking that stuff days ago.

All in all, I am JUST fine!!

<3

EXACTLY what my hubby just said! I didn't even realize I had overdone anything, in fact I was worried I was being lazy!! Doctor told me my ONLY job for the next week is to eat sleep and heal lol sure learned my lesson!!

That must have been scary' date=' I'm so glad to hear that your doing alright! xoxo[/quote']

When they said I had to do the barium drink/X-ray to look for perforations I totally started crying, I was SO worried they would have to put me under and open me up, I was SO glad they were able to rule out anything too serious pretty quick!

      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.
