Im so sorry you are still having problems. :( Have they figured out the cause of your issues yet? Sorry if you've told us and I missed it. I truly hope you are back to normal and feeling better soon. Its no fun not feeling well. I am right there with you only my issue is the pain.

All the problems are neurological, but I also have two chronic pain conditions. They think I'm having Migraine related vertigo...feels just like a stroke. I also have to have a vascular graft in my subclavian artery revised in sept...no fun and very scary. There is no cure for the Migraines, if that's what it is...they think they can get them down to three or four a month....just tired of keeping my chin up. Went back to work part time, and am in so much pain...just too much at once. Sorry for the whining.

You are definitely NOT whining! That is too much for anyone tk handle! I only have one back problem and I feel like throwing in the towel at times. I couldnt even imagine the migraines you must get. Ive had a few but nothing terrible. I usually get them in the humidity we are having now. I will be thinking of you and hope that your procedure goes great. I can believe you are scared as anyone would be. We are here for moral support and well wishes ALWAYS! Take care and keep your chin up. Please keep us posted.

I've been dealing with chronic pain for 13 years...I know how rough it can be. Sucks, doesn't it?

So..as I'm a glutton for punishment I'm working a night shift. I'm tired and hoping I will be able to resist the urge to snack out of boredom. Of course as its a night shift I'm drinking my coffee. I did bring some Protein with me to at least try to make sure it's pretty much in my guidelines if I do eat. Today was pretty blah as I ended up napping to prep for this shift and I also seem to be hit by a wicked sinus and allergy issue. I didn't hit the gym and prob should have..might have help the soreness I'm feeling from going hard the last few days. Hope y'all are doing well.

Half my shift is licked just waiting for the other half to get done. So far so good. I just always say another day another adventure.

On a positive note..I've pretty much fully got my husband on board with the whole healthy life style. He has put on about 20lbs since June. He also has had 2 diff foot surgeries and is still now in a cam boot. He is seeing the light about our need to be healthier(rather his) as my diet has gotten alot better. Maybe will make it easier. He only has bought pizza one time this week :) that's a big start for him.

      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.
