dreamingsmall, so glad to see your update. I've had many colonoscopies, and all I can say is "good drugs" and it's not bad at all. That being said, its normal to be a bit scared, and when you already feel punk, it's even more understandable.

You will continue to be in prayers. Healing & peace be with you!

Thank you so much for understanding, it really helps, and i will make sure they knock me out hahah thanks for the kind words :)

Sorry . i havent been online im awake at night then nodding off during the day lol

Please don't feel like your post is irrelevant or getting in the way. Life happens and it's not always WLS related! Hang in there!

HI Lillie , thank you for being so kind and checking on me, it means alot, I hear the saying of needin to get worse to get better, I am in the phase of not feeling better, but have a lot of pain relief through my drip which helps.

I have been moved to my own side room which is nice so not with other patience and I have a window so nice fresh air is coming so that nice! I have not been eating and drinking much but trying, how are you?

@dreamingsmall, so good to hear you are on the better side of the, even if it's still a steep climb. It's good to know you have a good medical team

I had my last "solid" food just now, a Protein Bar. It's liquids till Wednesday night, then NPO. Hospital at 6 am Thursday. I'm down 14 lbs so far. No nerves about surgery. Please keep in touch, and keep healing!

Good luck with surgery!!! I had a very difficult time during the night because the hospital bed caused horrible back pain (had a L5-S1 fusion in 2007) but otherwise hardly needed my pain pump. The next 2 days at home were awful, sleeping upright on a couch for maybe an hour at a time.

Since then it has been smooth sailing with a few hiccups. I’ve gotten what’s known as the foamies a few times from meds and once when I took a sip of Water during a meal [emoji849]. Had some bad days but otherwise surgery was awesome! If you feel anxiety the night before or regret immediately after, you aren’t alone!

Hi everyone thank you so much for your kindness i had no idea this post was still alive honestly your all so kind, i am unfortunately still in hospital its lonely in here now im in a side room on my own so i just look out the window. i am in alot of pain, so on

slow release morphine, 10mls liquid morphine, IV pain killers 2 types, zopiclone to help me sleep through the pain. and some other stuff. I cant keep up with whats going through these drips, im quite dehydrated my veins keep tisuing ive had alot of Fluid through iv but trying to drink but its making it hard for them to find my veins, still unable to have a cholonoscopy done yet as they sai it will make things worse for me right now as my bowels are still severely inflamed but they are trying to make me as comfertable as possible.

I can say i have never been more forgetful, because i know i have seen a hell of alot of consultants and doctors, but i dont feel any closer to an answer because it seems until i get abit better they can not do much in ways of treatement. they dont want to give me steriods yet as it will make me quite unwell they said its all abit confusing.

ive asked for alittle break between meds so i can hold onto my senses for a minute but i am quite sore at the moment, who would have thought id still be here?? I sit here staring at the clock between 9pm-11pm is sleeping tablet time lol depends were they start. Its almost funny that i my surgery to help my health but then this thing thats wrong with me now could not have been stopped by the surgery and neither could it have been found as it wasnt there then its one of those unfortunate things.

without the meds im crying in pain i wish i didnt need it, my job is to try and drink as much as i can, the staff keep trying to ask me to eat and watching my food i said look at me guys im obese lol if i could eat i would i love food!! lol my friends who visit me are even checking on me to check ive eaten and drinking its like i have swapped worlds lol.

i wish i could give you an actual update that makes any sense, but im so in limbo. thank you so much everyone for your kindness. to be honest ive had symptoms of being unwell for alittle while now but i just thought they were sleeve related , ive let myself down really, all my posts like " ive lost my apetite" "ive been having chills" tummy aches all symptoms to whats wrong but i had no idea. its so horrible being here its like my life has stopped. yet my life outside is still continuing so im stressed with everything i need to be doing. and when i am eventually allowed home that wont be the end of it. aswell as the treatment im having here il have to continue when i go home, but this probblem isnt caused by being over weight i didnt see this coming.:(

thank you all

      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.
