Good afternoon, I'm dealing with alot. I had a cancer scare, Thank God it wasn't cancer. I had surgery almost 3 weeks ago to remove a tumor from my ovary as well as a full hysterectomy. I came home on TPN and I hate it!! I have now stopped it and will have my picc line removed as well as the balloon dilation done due to my stricture on the 17th. Sorry you are dealing with that, hopefully it won't be long for you. Did they provide you with a nurse to come to your home to assist with the PICC line? Also my incision didn't close/ heal so im now dealing with a wound vac to help with the healing process.. this hurt like nobody's business. All in all, I'm down to 213lbs which is a plus and I'm happy about that. Although, I can't eat or drink everything, I still try to eat as much as possible and of course no exercising for me. Im praying for your quick and complete healing and thanks for checking in on me.

Oh my goodness! I hope and pray that you heal fast! I do have a nurse that comes . The not eating hasn’t bothered me as much as the not drinking and nauseous feelings. They just checked my abscess, getting better but not enough yet. Patience is not my virtue. Keep me posted on you!

Hi, Are you still on TPN? I am now on my fifth week of TPN. Today is a Thanksgiving. I’m most thankful that I’m still alive.
I’m very tired of not being able to eat or drink anything. I wonder how long this can continue without me going crazy along with not being able to work. I would like a update on how your doing.

Thanks Cathy

      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.
