Nice to see some conversation on here! Woohoo, they're more of our April group! I am healing slowly. Had spent more time in hospital than I thought with the low blood pressure. Now this weekend it is some horrible right leg pain. Can be up for about 10 minutes before the leg throbs and aches so bad I need to lie down. My lower leg and foot go numb too. I will be calling the dr in the am just to see. I have my pain meds figured out and regulated. I guess I just take it day by day! Love ya all!

What ailments have you had? What's your degree in? It sounds like you need to find more purpose in your life. Have you looked into finding temporary or even part time ways to use your degree? I quit teaching years ago to stay home with my daughter and getting back into the workforce took effort and time, but it paid off. I had to work as an instructional assistant or substitute for years. Perhaps you could find something similar. Just remember, this too shall pass. Hang in there and keep looking for ways to turn it around.

      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.
