That is me when they are trying to send me home from the hospital, I like to stay;

You will do fine., If you weren't nervous then something would be wrong.

Happy your getting taken care of :-)

Has anyone heard from simplySouthern yet and her status

Gen :-)

I was wondering the same thing. Seems like no one has. This is a long time to not hear from her. I'm really worried. I hope she is okay.

Anybody always cold? I am always cold now! I am from Ohio but now live in warmer North Carolina and since surgery' date=' I can't get warm![/quote']

I am too! It feels strange as I've always been hot, hot, hot. I have been using warm milk or Water to make my Protein Drinks warm. Lots of Soup too.

      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.
