What a week we have had. My youngest daughter has been in and out of two different emergency rooms over the last five days. She had strep throat, but penicillin was not keeping her 104 fever down. Finally, today, she is taking a turn for the better. It is so hard to be 300 miles away from her when all this has been happening. By pure chance, I was visiting both of my daughters at college last weekend when the first emergency room visit took place. She has been tested for meningitis, mono, two types of flu, strep throat, and three tick borne illnesses. Turns out she had been bitten by a tick in January and didn't remember it until the doctor asked her about it. She thought she had been bitten by a spider over three weeks ago. The tick borne illness tests are still being analyzed but she's on the med used to treat it just in case.

I can't remember ever being this scared before. But today she's getting her pep back and fever is staying low. She's on two antibiotics right now.

Having a child sick is awful. Having a child sick long distance is excruciating.

      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.
