this group of docs will.not.induce early unless there is medical reason to do so ... i dont wanna make my BP spike just to get induced so if he doesnt come on his own, i guess i'm stuck with Dr. Suck, but oh welll ... the only real reason i left her is because of her personality - she has none... its not like she was a bad doc.

Eh, that may actually work for you. When you're pushing and hurting and cussing up a storm, you won't give a crap if you call her something in the heat of labor that you might have regretted with the other doc. :scared2:

I understand what he said about smashing your thumb---but if you are one who swells like that, then you really seriously have to sneak up on restriction with teensy tiny fills regularly, not big fills.

If you were reacting to the fill, and swelling, then you were only aggravating it every time you threw up---when was it going to get a chance to go down???

That would be like saying ok, well I hit my thumb with the hammer so I won't use the hammer again----and hitting it with a rock instead.....DUH!

Dr.'s like their #'s to look good---but I like my stomach to look good and healthy! I agree with Lulu -you paid, you should have a say!

Glad your smoothie is down and staying there!

Thanks!! I just woke up after a major 4-hour nap and feel GREAT! It's amazing how much better I sleep when I'm not up hurling!

I didn't pay; insurance did so today I also told them today that they weren't going to charge my insurance company again...got my way with that one too. Snap!

Hopefully this is my last session as a human pin cushion for a while. :scared2:

Thanks again for the advice and caring everyone.

SnT I am glad you got the unfill. Being too tight is miserable.

Ambien does not make me walk in my sleep but it sure makes me talk in my sleep. My bf said last night I said

"you'll like it there. They have gobstoppers"

I have no idea why I would say that. He bought me a box of gobstoppers and I told him to keep them and that I don't even like those. weird.

LJM, you are bringing back so many memories for me of when I was locked in the hospital for 5 weeks waiting for my son to be born. I am so thankful I never had a neighbor.

I wasn't allowed out of bed even to shower. the nurses came and gave me sponge baths. It was gross. I was supposed to ring for them to use the bed pan but I used the bathroom even though they told me not to. I had to have stress tests every day.

I did have a big tv though. that was way before the days of lap tops. my son will be 25 next month!

LJM-I feel your pain. I didn't actually make it to day 15. I had my son at exactly 28 weeks after being in the hospital for 14 days. I was lucky enough to only have neighbors the night before my son was born. Although, my neighbor was in seriously hard labor. It seemed that every time she had a contraction, it made my stomach cringe.

I hope the little LJM holds out to Friday so you can curse that doctor that has the awful attitude.

Good morning everyone.

Saturday morning - quiet house, hot coffee, and just relaxing...Y doesn't open until 7 so no need to rush.

DH and I went grocery shopping last night - $500 later, I'm regretting introducing him to Costco! Admittedly the meats are good, and we do have 2 freezers just for meat, but still...considering we don't buy pre-packaged meals or processed anything, that is a hefty chunk of change for meats, veggies, toiletries, coffee and baking supplies . I shouldn't have to go grocery shopping again for a while (milk, fruit and veg aside). Brother and nephews are coming for birthday dinners tonight so there goes 2 roasts...teenage boys are nothing but walking, talking stomachs!! Couple of pounds of potatoes, a huge caesar salad, and I'll make two cakes...that should get them through the supper hour!

Not much happening in my life LJM to entertain you while you rest....sorry!

Does wine in the morning cure a headache from wine the night before?

Bloody mary's work for me.

Taps - diner sounds great.

Slim - another great Nsv!

Snt - glad your feeling better, I would stick w/soups & smoothies another day or 2…

Ljm - sorry your bored. My add would have the nurses in a fit.

I am so excited, dh and I have nothing we have to do & no company for a change. Feel like hiding in our media rm & watch movies all day.

Cut my hair....probably good time to update avi??

This would need to be tested. So, try it today. Then drink too much tonight, but don't drink wine tomorrow am. Compare the results.

That sounds like a plan.

      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.
