Shortness Of Breath?



Recommended Posts

Well I am still here. They are saying something about my bodies acids or something is out of whack. Not really sure. I have a tumor on my pituitary gland and they think it may have something to do with that and want to talk to a neurologist and or endocrinologist. I take meds for it to shrink it. Said I might go home tomorrow. This is bull crap but for the best!

Stephanie I sure hope they figure this out. I know you hate being there but I am so glad you went. I was afraid it was a pulmonary embolism to be truthful. They had just covered that in my pre op class and it sounded like they described.

Praying they figure it out and you get back on the road to recovery.

Stay in touch. Amazing how much we can worry about each other.

I am still here and they are still not sure what it is. I asked the doctor who just talked to me to write it down for me. I feel good. I am pretty sure she said my acid levels are high. And they don't know why. I will get you guys better info soon!

      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.
