Extreme muscle weaknes, soreness, awful

Shannon, do the doctors know how long you've had the blood clot? What are they doing to treat you for it? Are you feeling any better? It seems like some doctors don't take the care of their patients very seriously.

Get well! I'll keep you in my prayers.

Got blood clot, nearly died. Lots of damage.....been on back for 8 days. Horrible pain.................Sorry I decided to have this done. I am a mess!

Sorry you had to go through that. However, blood clots are a risk with any surgery.

Did you receive Lovenox before surgery?

Ouch! Was the blood clot band-related? Your comment that you are sorry you had this done suggests it is... where was the clot and did they have an explanation of how you got it?

Rest up -- I'm so glad they caught it in time!!

Good God. If you went that many days without treatment, you ARE lucky you didn't die. Be grateful your angels were watching over you!!

      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.
