So my turn for the er. My dr office finally called me back and sent me to the er. Waiting on labs and a us. Just in a lot of pain and having a lot of pressure. No bleeding so that's somewhat more positive but I'm extremely scared.

Thank y'all. Still waiting. I'm getting pumped with fluids right now I was pretty dehydrated. I haven't got the labs back yet or not that they told me. I was told I was going to US but haven't went yet. Just scared but

Hope it's not much of nothing. Thanks. I could really use the prayers. I'm scared.

Ok wide awake can't sleep all I keep thinking about is that the past month my weight loss has been sooooo slow and what if I don't lose all my weight. ..I don't know why I get so upset over it when sometimes I feel like "wow I've lost so much weight in 5 months" and now I think of how much more I need to lose and think I'm not gonna get there...I'm sorry I know I've said this all before it just really gets to me..am I the only one worried they won't reach their goal? ?

Missed my neurology appt...shoot.needed two transfusions. Had a serious bleed. My blood count went down to 6.5... Normal is 14! My bp is 83/38.....really not good. After the transfusions it went up to 90/57, blood count was almost 9. And they let me go home. This is all from sneaking maybe two cigarettes a week...I thought you had to have H pylori to have ulcers BUT NO! I'm done smoking for good.. I had quit before surgery and started 3 1/12 months after...big mistake!

Darn maybe the neurologist can sqyeeze you in when you explain you were in hospital..Did they say you should heal on your own? Yikes quitting is so hard I quit almost 2 weeks before and I did have one when me and my hubby went to a concert a few weeks ago but it doesn't interest me on a regular basis thank god! Hope you are feeling better tomorrow

      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.
