So the ER was NOT great. It was a 12 hour process but found out what was wrong. Seems I have a very large cyst on my left ovary that grew with all the hormonal changes in my body. They basically had to shoot me up with pain meds. They starred with morphine but that didn't help at all. Went stronger just enough to knock me out. Now' date=' I have to worry about it rupturing. Omg! The pain is indescribable!!![/quote']

Hope u get to feeling better soon.

So I tried on some old capris today in size 20. They fit perfectly everywhere except for the stomach. They button fine but with all the flabby skin, they feel tight. The skin even hangs over the top. :( As anyone noticed this as a problem in smaller sizes? Guess ill have to go get some of those Spanx to hold it all in.

My surgeon would prefer me to take that over a stool softener everyday.

I've been doing the old nursing trick with prunes or prune juice followed by hot coffee. I've never had this kinda prob in my life.

      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.
