I don't know I've been to centers and what it really matters is a doc who can think and not constantly believe that tests are the end all be all of an existence.

Jemjars how are you doing? Its been a couple weeks and no posts.

So it's been 3 months. 3 weeks after surgery was hospitalized with severe dehydration. A week later I was scoped and dilated. Then we started cts and ultra sounds and on 5/12 we did a gallbladder surgery and he went back in to look at the sleeve to make sure it wasn't twisted which it wasn't. Then a week after a got out of hospital I'm back in for infection and dehydration. I'm still not eating. Drinking about 24 oz of Fluid a day and still on liquid diet. Saw doc on Friday and he talking about paralyzed stomach. Feeding tubes into intestines and going to bypass. He now wants me to stop shakes and focus on Water only. I drank 5 oz yesterday. 6 oz today. He wants 7 oz tomorrow. I am malnourished hair is falling out and nails are riding up of nail bed. He is no doing B12 shots hoping to help with the malnourishment. Can anyone relate?

Jem you are in our prayers. I've been there and if there is anything I can help you with ask away. I even took my own bloodwork, etc. so I'm not afraid of doing stuff.

      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.
