I want to wish you a Happy New Year



Recommended Posts

I haven't been on for a few days, I have been really sick, and I still am. I have the flu, the doctor said I had it full blown! I have been running a temp of 103 and my head feels like it is going to explode. My body aches and my throat is sore, and of course the terrible caugh that goes along with it. I am really weak and can't sit up long at a time. The doctor said 5-7 days of this, and I am highly contageous! I cancelled my fill that was scheduled for yesterday. The doctor also said since I had the first origianal round of flu shots, he had to report that the strain broke through the shot. Anyway, I just wanted you to all know that I just haven't been able to reply to your posts, and I also wanted to wish you all a very "Happy New Year".

I was wondering where you had gone! Hope you feel better real soon. You can't really have a happy new year with the flu, so I hope the rest of the year is great to make up for it. :(

Hey Betty, I noticed you havent been around. Thought maybe you were out-of-town.

Here's a (((hug))) and a hot cup of chicken noodle Soup to ail those aches.

We miss you - hope you are well soon.

Love you!

Betty, I would have sent you a get well, but I feel like a real dummy, I've never been to the "lounge" before. I especially like the joke thread.

Glad you're better.

      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.
