Wow, what dedication on your part! I'm know it sucks not having a true diagnosis yet, but in cases like yours we always treat everything it could be, and then start working backwards in terms of ruling stuff out. *hugs*

I love that philosophy! Do no harm, treat worst case scenario and then use all factors to figure out what's going on. And that's what they are doing. I personally just do better when I understand why things are happening. I understand why the process is going the way it is bit am worried we aren't nailing down a diagnosis yet. Time will tell. Test is over and a little more relaxed.

I was supposed to take my children on vacation beforentals my masters program starts next Thursday and that's causing some bummed feelings. But health is more important and we can find something fun locally later maybe.

Thank you! We do what we must. It was a must ;)

I am so sorry you don't have answers but glad your pneumonia is better.

I hope you get good news tomorrow and an A on your exam.

Happy Birthday! It is going to be a great year.

Thank you! It's going to be an Awesome year! For you too :)

Well, there'should been no vacation. I'm still in the hospital. I took my final exam in here (she faxed it to my nurse) They still aren't 100% sure on anything except the pneumonia. They were going to release me but my pulse has been 36-40 all day so I'm being held for observation . I get an echocardiogram in the morning and we'll see...

Thanks for the well wishes everybody

Thank you! It's pretty odd to me as well. They are trying to get my heart rate above 60 but it keeps dropping. On a good note, grades were posted today and I got a 98% on the test I took in here and an overall 95%in the class. So I passed all 3 prerequisites with flying colors and as long as I get out by Thurs, I can walk in orientation with my head held high!

      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.
