I agree Terry---all day long I have thought of it off and on, that what if you cannot make it....it is not something my mind accepts---let alone the heart. I KNOW your Mom is #1 priority---and I am very worried about her health as well, but it is just too sad to contemplate you not being there......makes me wanna go pout in the corner!

Thanks guys, ya'll are so sweet! I would cry for days if I couldn't go...and I don't cry often.

All I can tell you at this point is that she seems fine! Well, at least no worse than she has been the last 2-3 weeks! The last time she was in the hospital I thought she would never make it out and she seems better now than she did then. My point is that I am amazed at what the doctors can do with tweaking her medication and getting her stronger again, so I am very hopeful. She's just so dang sick.... advanced COPD, congestive heart failure, and light pneumonia but with no fever. She's alert, relatively cheerful, color is good, strength is pretty good, oxygenation is good, BP is good. Amazing. I feel confident she'll be discharged...but her situation is sooooo delicate, it can change any minute.

So anyway, that's the update. Thanks so much for your prayers. I love having you girls to talk to. It helps so much.

I saw your name and was afraid to open the thread, but thankfully it was better news. We'll continue to pray that she holds her own and that you'll be able to be with us in a few days. It just wouldn't be an official gathering without YOU!!

Terri-it really is amazing what happens when drs make the slightest medication adjustment. I hope that she continues to get better & stronger every day. Let me know if I can do anything!

Okay, I am going to pack all my stuff in my car on Wednesday so that I don't forget anything. Terry, do you know if the grocery list is finalized? Has everyone made all their requests??

Extra beach towels, extra sunscreen, extra bathroom toiletries to share... those are on my list... Anyone need me to bring anything else in order for you to make room in your bag?

      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.
