Carol, so sorry you had a rough time. At least you are in the right place to control your pain. Make sure they allow for Probiotics after you finish your antibiotics. Best of luck and keep in touch. I was there for 11 days.... It sucked but I thought of it as a vacation from my four kids and husband. By the time I went home I really missed them and they missed me!!!

@@Heavy to Healthy Thank you so much for writing and letting me know I wasn't alone on this journey. I am still not quite out of the woods, still have this infection, but am on antibiotics, wound is packed, that comes out in the AM, and we wait to see if it will close on it's own.

I know much of my nausea is being brought on by the antibiotics and still, so many pills I have to take. I just want a little relief...so I can get my nourishment in. I'm getting my Water in ok

But the antibiotic gave me nausea and diarrhea, and I'm not sure why but the hospital didn't give me my Zyrtec for a week, so I get out into the world today and it's full of pollen and I'm choking every time I lay down. Blowing my nose, miserable.... I feel like a big old mess. LOL

I could use some prayers and good thoughts. SO I thank all of you have been so kind, and sweet, and positive. It's made a difference.

I just keep praying to wake up for another day.

      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.
