Hi everyone and thank you so much for the well wishes.. I am getting better, but it is along road.. Some days are better than others.. My husband raised the bed 9 inches.. now we just have to keep from sliding off.. lol..

I was talking with a nurse and she stated that bagged lettuce is a very big culprit of this disease.. they say it's washed 3x's and how do we know that it isn't dirty water.. She also said to be careful with buffets, etc.. Geez, it just makes you wonder.. I thought to myself.. I WASH MY HANDS, I WASH MY FOOD.. but you just never know.. so now i am paranoid.. I'm not sure I even want to eat out anymore, but i'm sure that will pass once this dang infection is over..

I can't tell you how much i appreciated all the help and concern.. makes me feel so much better already.. I wish you all well and great weight losses.. I'll keep ya posted on this story .. Hopefully it should be over.. I called my lapband dr. and told him what i had, but hadn't heard back yet.. I just want the reassurance that it's not the band.. I just want to get back to normal..

bye for now..

Becky, hope you get better very, very quickly! A friend of mine fighting cancer was told to rinse everything with apple cider vinegar. It's a natural germ killer and very cheap. It smells, but evaporates, and doesn't affect food tastes. Best of luck to you!:)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
