OK. So you all know how cold we get after this surgery, and I am no exception. In fact, last night I could not for the life of me, get warm. No amount of sweaters, p.j.s, socks...were going to do the job. I went to bed cold, but my fleecy sheets were great and got me all toasty warm. This morning I was all bundled in my bed when my puppies decided it was time to get up. I peeked my nose out of the covers, an arm soon followed. Then I thought to myself, "man, I can't still be cold, what's wrong with me, am I getting sick, or what?" I got out of bed and threw on a fleece top, heavy wool sweater, heavy pants, slippers that go up to my knees practically, and then donned mittens and threw a throw around me. "Gosh, I must really be getting sick. Seriously, it can't be this cold in here." I go to check the thermostat of the furnace, and it is blank. Oh No! Oh Yeah - it's not me!!! It's the furnace! Oh NO! I call the gas company and there isn't an outage. So what is wrong? is it me? Am I sick? I go to check the thermometer and it says 47degrees. Oh No, Oh Yeah!!!It's NOT me!!! It's the furnace! Oh NO!! What do I do? I call the furnace man, who tells me to check the batteries on the thermostat, turns out they were dead, and all I needed to do was install new ones. Note to self and anyone else...always check the furnace thermostat, it's not necessarily ME!

Lol! Funny! One of my Christmas presents from my mom was a heated blanket that goes at the end of your bed for your feet....LOVE.IT.

Glad for you it was an easy fix. I went bed wearing dbls shirts, soccer socks, my hat and scarf. Pretty soon I was peeling off and throwing clothes off as I acclimated my body temp.

      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.
