My endo called today. I get to do once again another 24 hour urine collection. Also liver enzymes are still high. Wow the liver issue has lasted for three years now. One day someone will find out what's attacking my body. But the bright side I'm up right and breathing.

Saw the spine surgeon today. He said my weight was in a good spot for the surgery. He scheduled it for 10 days from now! So on 11-11' date=' please think of me and pray all goes well. Glad it will be soon; he said ive waited in pain for too long already. Getting my back fixed was the reason I had wls to begin with so it was well worth it for me![/quote']

I am happy to hear that they can finally help you! I will definitely keep you in my prayers...I'll be thinking of you!

Have they tested you for hepatitis c...not to be an alarmist, but I was really sick for years, and that's what it was...I took treatment for it, and I'm cured. I got it from a transfusion in 1988.

Yes I've been tested. Girl we have been doing testing for almost two years. I'm positive for one test and neg for another. This will be my forth 24 hour urine test. As I know you know this never finding the answer is aggravating.

      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.
