I hope you are back to normal come Monday, Leatha. It sounds like you have been totally miserable. Hope the switch in medications goes well, too.

Thanks Rebecca! Thanks everyone for putting up with my sniveling. This has been an awful week. I haven't been so sick in a long time. Today, I can breathe easy, my fever seems to have disappeared, there are some lingering sorta transient aches in my ears, so I suspect the sinuses are not totally clear, but I'm on my way to recovery. It's funny how all things hit at once.

I had spent last week in St Louis with a co-worker who I know had been sick for the week before AND the week we were there. I'm sure she passed it along to me and goodness knows how many clients. YIKES. I flew home on Friday, went out Saturday night, had company Sunday evening and by bedtime Sunday night I was burning up with fever and had lost my voice all within an hour. Unfortunately, I had an appointment already made for the next day to work on this med change, so I couldn't hardly postpone it. So here I am with this great big ball of wax to hopefully get all straightened out. This is how I work, no pressure unless I can get ALL the pressure at one time, that way I can just be superwoman for short periods only.lol. :(

Thanks for all your support and suggestions. Special thanks to Marie for pming me home remedies which helped me on my worst night. :P

Yes Paula. I'm still sitting on 181.2. :( I need exercise!

Yea, the problem, Michelle is the coumadin. I really have to be careful adding or taking away from the meds I take on a routine basis. :P It sucks, especially if you become ill enough to need some relief.

      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.
