My Dr admitted me yesterday' date=' we are doing lots of tests and I will have to get a pic-line because my veins are all collapsing when they try to get an IV started. The fall really aggravated the pain and I am not able to eat. I am back on Clear liquids. I'm sorry I'm not here to support you all, I'm still in a lot of pain. They did an ultrasound of he kidneys to see how big the stones are, they did an ultrasound of my legs to look for blood clots and they did a CT with IV contrast.....I am tired.... I can't wait till I am on my feet.....take care all.

Sorry it is so hard to reply. I'm on that cancer pain patch and the demoral every 3 hours. The endoscopy found ulcers on mjy pouch opening that is causing swelling. That's why I have had nausea and vomiting. They still haven not determined the cause of that searing pain in my belly. Doc says I probably tore a muscle. I am waiting to see a gynecologist, one Dr. Thinks I have traveling endometriosis....meaning not on my ovaries or uterus, but the endometriosis tissue travels to other parts of the body...fun stuff. I have my PICC line in now. They can give me all my if mess there even my pain med which seems to be stronger now. I can hardly see the page here. I have tried to PM some of you but it isn't working. Thank yuou for the phone numbers and prayers and well wishes. Sorry I can't be here to support you all.

Hugs and thanks to you all. You are wonderful people and I appreciate you all......my cell doesn't work in here, the reception is horrible so to Padlrd and Monekin I cannot call you without losing the call

Thanks again and sorry for the medication induced typos,

Kat

Kat, so glad they are finding what's going on. That fall messed up your healing muscle:-(. Endometriosis diagnosis is very interesting one. Be interesting to hear what gyn says. If you want phone calls to your room let us know the room number you won't need your cell. Feel better and relax so they can help you. Hugs

      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.
