Well I just but a frozen chicken breast in the oven, now that is optimisim, isn't it? Oh well Tomkitten can have the rest after I whittle a tiny bit off.
Do wish my surgeons would have a commitee meeting, Dr Needleman wanted me on a Stage 3 diet at 2 weeks, 4 months in and Dr Noria gave me and is keeping me on TPN,and a token something by mouth if I want, Dr Needleman wanted me to have another scope before my January 15th appointment with him, Dr Noria, at last report, planned to schedule me for it January 25th. Somebody in DoctorLand is going to be pretty peeved about this situation. Me, I have an unending supply of Carafate, Zofran, prenatal Vitamins, B12 and Dexilent, that and TPN are what I am surviving on. And I am willing to climb on their scoping table and go to sleep whenever it is scheduled, but I would like it sooner than later. And in case I build up too big a blood supply, they drain off syringefuls twice a week. One of the benefits of a PICC line, it can be drawn there instead of bruising every vein in my arms trying to get a needle in. Sure not the recovery from RnY I 0litted and planned for. But I have lost 50 or so pounds in 4 months, I planned to do it with limited portions, plenty of fluids and exercise like the usual WL patients. Ah Man proposes, God disposes and it don't work to get upset, it just is what it is!

I meant to say Plotted and Planned, oh I had such high hopes everything would be sunny, for 2 weeks it was and then..... ulcerstions and a Structure in Precious Pouch happened and things never were quite the same. I knew I might be a special patient, but This Special I could have done without! But still Happy New Year 2019,and let's see what it holds for me!

      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.
