Thank you so much, it seems so many are going through this right now. We had a great party for Dave, with healing prayers offered. All who came participated, and it gave great comfort. I highly recommend these group prayers, there is so much power in them. For all who are in need, remember - YOU ARE NOT ALONE! May God bless you ALL!

I've gone through a lot of the same things in last year. Knowing I was not alone got me through some very dark times. I know we are a group for WLS. But , I feel this group is so much more. If you need a place to go, I'm sure most of us will be more than happy to support you in these trying times.

You are such a sweetie, and I humbly thank you! It is true, what you say, about this site being so much more. I have found many supportive friends via this site. And I thank God every night for them. Unfortunately, right now is an incredibly busy time for us (we're actually in Billings, Montana this week for Dave's work), and with all of Dave's chemo...and surgery coming up, I haven't had a lot of time to write and keep everyone informed.

Dave's had an incredibly hard week with this training, and tomorrow will be the worst, with the defensive tactics class. I have to go with him to see that he doesn't get hurt, because he is extremely prone to infection right now (chemo joys). He has to stay well for the upcoming surgery. He is a law enforcement officer, and these are annual trainings, something he cannot miss. Even though he's been off the chemo for a week now, he is still getting the sores on his face and head, the lovely bloody nose, and extreme fatigue. His bones ache from the shot he had for the low white blood count. He's just not a happy camper right now, and these trainings are so exhausting.

His meeting with the surgeon is on the 1st, and we aren't sure when his PET scan will be, before or after (probably before, I'm guessing). He wants to keep working until the surgery, but it is getting harder and harder for him to do so. He is pretty much office-bound, but with all the forest fires right now, it is hard to do so, as he investigates those. That is really hard on his lungs, so he is stepping back from that a bit.

So for the next 2 days we'll be driving home, then back to "normal"! WHAT IS NORMAL?! Crazy days and unpredictability! So we leave our lives in the Good Lord's almighty hands, and I trust He will take of all of you, as well. Have a great evening!

      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.
