Penni,

Sorry to hear about your mom again and I know how you feel. But believe me when they go for spurts like that when it's over it will probably be over for a while. So hang it there I think your moms run is just about over and I'm gonna pray on that!

Awwwww Penni - my heart goes out to you. My Mom had CHF and it seems like we lived at the hospital at times. It is really tough, but you will be glad you were always there to help her. Those are memories I have in my heart forever. I am sending prayers for you and her and hopefully you will get some time to rest up. Remember to take care of yourself too!

Always trying to look at the bright side here, but how many moms are lucky enough to have a caring daughter at their bedside? I hope she's better soon, but next time you better give me more notice to plan a getaway so you don't have to take on the burden of the world alone. She's a lucky mom.

I just talked to Mom and after several days of pain meds, sleep meds, and her other meds she is feeling MUCH better. She is getting much needed sleep. Her pain is managable and tolerable. She ordered a better bed and it is in the box in the middle of her living room. I hope to have time to put it together for her before I leave for home. Will have to see. I might not. But my daughter might be able to do that.

Thank you for all your support and prayers.

      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.
