In desperate need of HELP!!!



Recommended Posts

Hey there, friends. Last week I posted this in the Rants thread but I thought that I would try it here too. In January, I registered to participate in the 3-Day Breast Cancer Walk (I will be walking for a total of 60 miles). I have always wanted to participate in this very worthy cause but I knew that I could NEVER make the 60 miles before. Well, as many of you know, in April I learned of my husbands affair and I have been dedicating the majority of my time healing myself, trying to save my marriage and maintain a healthy life for my kids. In doing so, my fundraising efforts for the 3-Day Walk fell short. The walk is scheduled to begin next Friday (October 3). I have until tomorrow to raise an additional $1,100 so that I can participate in the walk. I am asking anyone out there who would like to donate on my behalf to please do so. I would appreciate any and all donations. I want to do this walk so badly. If you are interested in donating to me, you can get to my page at the following link: Welcome to the Washington DC Breast Cancer 3-Day:

I want to thank everyone (for everything). You guys have been there for me when I first had my surgery, when I had my first PB, when I learned of my husbands affair and everything in between. You really are like familiy and for that I am very thankful. Thanks, guys!!! :rolleyes2:

      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.
