I just got my thyroid lab back, which was tested twice bc the first time the results were "higher than they've ever seen before" and the second lab result said the same thing. It's supposed to be in between a 0-4, and I was 59 and 56. So the anesthesiologist won't put me under. I have been taking my thyroid medication for months ... Last time it was maybe 24 ....I've been feeling so much better since I started taking my medicine (used to sleep 18 hrs a day) so I don't see how my numbers could be possible! Now I have to wait for my thyroid to get back to normal which could take an infinite amount of time! The medicine usually takes up to 6 weeks to even change anything.

I'm just a teensy upset right now. Like sobbing.

My surgery was supposed to be next Tuesday.

Sorry to hear that, but for your safety everything has to be just right. I know it's a hard pill to swallow but it just isn't the right time at this exact moment. Keep on preparing and doing everything you can. Keep you're eye on the ball and you'll get there!

I have been taking 2 Multivitamins a day, but Biotin is only at 10% daily value... I just don't get it because I don't have any symptoms ... And I know the symptoms

      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.
