A new medical issue for me.



Recommended Posts

I have a tentative appointment for April 1 at 8 a.m. at MD Anderson in Houston. I was told to expect to stay five to seven days for testing and possible treatment. I don't know if any of this will be as an inpatient. I'll stay with my mother. This could change if the final pathology report varies from the preliminary report. Now I have a week to get my classes ready. I already have a sub!

The unfill feels great! I had a good appetite today but felt like I kept it under control. I can tell that I've already broken some bad habits so I'll just have to be careful not to start them up again.

Thanks again, y'all! :shades_smile:

I remember the first day well at MDA with my sister. We spent the entire day trying not to be late for her next appt. They cover alot of ground in a short period of time that you are there, and that is good - it allows you to 'get on with it' , whatever 'it' ends up being.

Please remember the offers you have had for help - don't try to do this alone.

What a doll bandpal is . . . I love the song and think the nurses at MDA will love it too when you hang it on your wall there. It is going to put a smile on the face of all who come into your room. That is awesome bandpal! :wub:

I am thinking of you today Kendra and hope you are feeling well and that your spirits are high.

Love,

Lynn

      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.
