Oh my goodness! I'm so happy to hear that you'll be ok and that it was caught in time. Please rest and take good care of yourself. You poor dear! If I had more long distance minutes left I'd call you, but I fear I've already gone over them for the month!

Sending mega huggies out to you girl!

Trish, oh my woman!! I hope you're sleeping soundly now and recovering from your ordeal. It's amazing the drugs they can throw at an infection these days, but you'll be feeling better very soon. Rest up!!

Thank Goodness you went to the doc today, you are on some pretty heavy meds that will particularly help with the inflammation and swelling, which will help you feel much better and the good thing is they usually work pretty quickly.

Now I hope you're resting and maybe putting some moist hot towels on your face to help with the pain. I'll keep an eye out for your posts over the next few days and pray that from this point on everything will be okay!

Thanks for letting us know what happened, everyone was so worried.

Cindy

Thank you all so much....

Cindy I didnt think of hot towels.. but Im going to try it..

I have been in a lot of pain this evening... and the stink seems to get worse, maybe because its working it self out.. I rinsed a couple more time and large amout of yellow mucus came out I hope that is a good sign..

I took 8 Predisone today.. tomorrow I take 7 the next day I take 6... and so on until the last day I take 1

I finally ate a little today... I wasnt eatting much because I was so scared and I got very weak from it.. but once I had a bit to eat I felt better...

I think it will all get better... and Im going to learn to be much more careful and try never to PB again... Im sorry I had to go through this to make me relize that I need to watch out more of what I am doing and what I am putting in my mouth.

Thanks again everyone for your wonderful suport and caring. I dont know what I would do without you all

((((((((((((((((((((((((BIG HUGS))))))))))))))))))))))))

      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.
