Was discharged yesterday.I either have atypical migraines' date=' which they are treating with gabapentin (yuck), or all this is as a result of my bypass, which I had in 2000, being blocked....I see a vascular specialist at a the university hospital where I originally had the bypass Tuesday...my graft is 70% occluded...not good. I insisted on going back to the Medical College ...I was done with the hospital for now. The food situation at the hospital was terrible...finally just brought in my own Protein. Ah well.[/quote']

I am a MAJOR Migraine sufferer as well. Gaba didn't help me at all. The only thing that worked for me was Fiorcet. It is not a narcotic and it really helps in about 30 minutes. Just wanted to share that.

Unfortunately I'm having stroke symptoms, not typical migraine pain. Fioricet is great for my regular Migraines, though.

Better to lose in your tummy, butt or arms than fingers. Glass half full? :)

Congrats 90 is phenomenal!!

I know how you feel. We talked about it earlier in some posts. I was a 44DDD and now I am wearing a 40D. It is a huge change especially trying on clothes and I don't fill the tops out like before, no cleavage. Everything has to be pushed up and out! But, it's a problem I am happy to have because the surgery was the best thing I've ever done for me!

This conversation is so funny! I was a 48DDD(F), and now am a 44D. I much prefer being smaller busted. Down 2-3 clothing sizes. Just wish my stomach would shrink down more. :rolleyes:

Yeah yeah, my glass is half full:). My chubby fingers will be slim again but they haven't gone down much! I'm only 69 pounds from goal, and want that ring on. Haven't worn it since it was cut off for back surgery in 2011. Yes I'm being inpatient.

Feeling a ton better today. Now I have alot to do! My sister in law and niece, who stayed here a month, just moved out sunday and my mother in law from texas will be here on Saturday, to stay till December. UGH! We get along fine but having someone in my house is always alittle uncomfortable. She is coming to stay until my niece has her twin boys in October and then to help afterwards. They moved into an upstairs apartment and she cant do stairs so she will live here. Wish me luck! ;)

      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.
