I go on Tuesday to get another X ray to see if my chest is clearer....I was on so much antibiotics when I was in the hospital and for 5 months afterward..He is not really keen on giving much more unless it calls for it...

They run havoc on your body and I am working so hard to build it up you know......Tomorrow is another day right.....

indomitable spirit!

It would be used to describe someone who has a very strong character and will not give up. They cannot be subdued or overcome and will keep on trying.

Yikes you are way to kind to me gmanbat, truly....Thank you though!

RJ, I am so sorry to read this latest setback for you. I have had costochondritis (inflammation of the rib cage cartilage) and it is quite painful. You don't realize how often you use your ribs until you have pain in them. Things you do every day without thinking such as breathing can cause pain. Driving when I would have a flare was almost impossible.

I am keeping you in my thoughts and hoping things get better for you and your bad times will soon be a distant memory.

Sending you lots of love and healing light via the cyber cloud! I hope you pain is decreasing and your healing increasing. You have persevered thru so much already. This new issue really sucks! How you keep your composure I don't know. I think I'd be raging at God!

      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.
