Sooo, yeah. Bad week.



Recommended Posts

Remember that allergic reaction I had? Well, it apparently triggered a massive sinus and ear infection that laid me out for several days. I even had to have my mom come and pick me up in Kentucky and drive me home so that I could go see my regular doctor because it wasn't safe for me to drive. I nearly passed out a couple of times in the shower because of my sinuses and I was very wobbly because of my ears. And on top of all that, I severely burned the roof of my mouth the day after my allergic reaction (couldn't feel it at the time because of the swelling) and now have massive, thick blisters. Shitty week, all around. I had to get blood drawn yesterday to do a rast test to see if I'm allergic to wheat, milk components, or soy. And I got the bad blood tech, too, that always hurts my arm. :cursing:

Sorry you are having a rough time. I know all about the ear infections. I've been battling one for a few days and it's not getting much better. I actually get them fairly often and thank goodness, this one hasn't gotten as bad as most of my others. I think I may have caught it early enough. Now my throat is getting sore too! My niece and nephew had strep throat and I was around both of them. I hope it's just ear or sinus drainage and not strep throat. I feel you pain, it hasn't been the best week for me either. Hope you feel better soon!

      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.
