Update...teaching hospital definitely thinks I'm throwing clots from my heart...sh$@! More tests Thu. Then follow up with vascular and cardiology and neurology. On top of that, my other graft in my neck, has to be stented or totally revised. Double sh@$! Until then, I just walk around hoping I don't have another TIA. Trying to see this as taking care if my health and not a total negative.

Dumb!!! Thats how i feel today! Took my daughter to the Build A Bear workshop today. And next door to that was an ice cream shop. So we went in myself, my husband, my niece and my daughter. Everyone got their ice cream... Yes me too. Should not have even attempted it! Felt fine for the first 10 minutes. Then one the way home in the car, up it came! Totally gross! Will not be doing ice cream again!

Yikes! Thats what you get girl! ;) LOL! You are braver than me; im so afraid of dumping I dont go anywhere near stuff like that. My husband, who works nights, had a pepsi before work last night. It had 60 some grams of sugar! I said id be dumping for days if I drank that! Funny how now I look at that stuff and think I used to drink that all the time! No wonder I was 340lbs!

      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.
