Glad you're feeling better; next week is fine for me. I just started a spanish class on Thursdays, so any day but that (Donde esta el Hospital Almater?)

See if you can find a cute policeman for yourself tomorrow night, although I usually prefer firemen.

How about Tuesday? Does that sound good to you? You name the time.

Nawww, not firemen. Blech.... You know, there are only two professions where you earn a living laying on your back. ;o)

I wish I wasn't 4 hours from Portland. That would make it a lot easier to get out of here. I just saw that there is an airline offering really cheap flights into that Mesa airport you told me about.

Tuesday's good; how about 12:30?

Denise, the Mesa airport's only about 20 minutes away from Sky Harbor, so it's a great alternative.

Okay, I'll talk to you Monday.

Hey, Denise! I just checked Allegiant airlines, and they have flights from Medford for $29 each way. You have no excuse not to visit us!

My only excuse right now is I do have a job. I take off from work so often to come down there, I have to wait a little bit. Medford is 3 hours from me. I wish I didn't live in the middle of nowhere!

Denise, too bad you weren't here today! Snowbird and I went to Pappadeaux's and then we went to the AZ state fair. It was fun! I ate my way through the fair but Snowbird was MUCH better about food! We went on rides, it was fun. I really enjoyed myself. Oh... then there was the petting zoo portion, all the little tiny baby animals, they were sooo cute!

No fair! I was sick today. I was really dizzy. I went to bed and slept for a few hours. That is very unlike me. Then I got up and slimed on a Protein drink. weird. I am fine now. I just ate some cheese with no trouble.

I am glad I have a dr.'s appointment next week. They said they would

x ray my stomach. They said that would be the cheapest. Can they see a slip with an x ray of the stomach? They said to look at it under

flouro would be $400

It is unlikely they can see a slip with a flat plate xray. Fluoro... whole different story.

If you get a negative diagnosis, there is a 50/50 chance they can see a slip. There is a 100% chance they can see a slip with fluoro.

cr@p! I don't want to pay $400 for fluoro ! I really need to come down there. I am not really having problems anymore but I just would rather be safe than sorry. There is someone who posted on here recently that went for a fill with fluoro and found out she had a slip with no symptoms at all.

      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.
