Topic: RE: Leg Cramps on Day 4 of PreOp Diet
I would go ahead and eat a banana since lack of Potassium can cause problems with your heart. Or you could drink some grapefruit juice or eat a yogurt which are both liquids. Your doc doesn't have an emergency number?
I ignored the leg cramps and started having really bad arrhythmia.

Topic: RE: Stupid Hurricane Go Away
I agree weakening or disolving would be great but Its about to be to cat 5 so highly unlikely. I am trying to think that my surgery probably won't happen so I will not be so disappointed. They said even if it follows it's projected path we will still have Tropical Storm like conditions. For all of you who don't live near an area where there are potential for Hurricanes I hope you don't think I am being callus about where the storm goes. I would never hope for it to go to LA or anywhere else for that matter, I just don't want it to come here.
Maybe by the 4th everything will be back to normal for you, CP3260! Ferrari did one of my best friends surgery. She started at 330 and now wears size 2. She really liked him.

Topic: RE: The Last Meal
I am Day 4 of my Pre-op Diet and I LOVE yes, I said LOVE my shakes. They are the Premier shakes at Costco. They only come in chocolate and they are $24.99 for an 18 pack. They have 30g of Protein at only 160. I drink 4 aday along with popsicles and jello. I also ordered online the Protein Bullet which is a 4oz. packet of thick gooey protein kinda expensive at $33 for 12. I also purchased Myoplex Lite from CVS or rite Aid or any drugstore a 4 pack for five bucks and its vanilla so light like water. Goes down easy. Please go to Costco first!!!!
Topic: Leg Cramps on Day 4 of PreOp Diet
Hey Gang! Today is day 4 of my 14 day pre-op diet and I had killer leg cramps last night. I know it is lack of potassium but not sure how to get potassium back into my system without blowing my pre-op liquid diet. I feel great other than than and lost 7 pounds in 4 days. WOOHOO!! My doctors office is closed for the 3-day weekend. Any advice would be appreciated.

I just hope that by some miracle Gustav would get really and weak and not be hard on anyone.

Topic: RE: Oh no he didn't!
I am 3 days into mine I cooked for my family it was not as hard as I thought it would be. We traveled the first day and I carried my protein drink into the restaurant while my granddaughter and husband ate the alternative would have been tosit in the car and feel sorry for myself and I was not going to do that.

Topic: Stupid Hurricane Go Away
Can yall all please pray for the hurricane to go away from the Houston area (sorry all yall from LA but you know your praying for the same thing in reverse) ! It is scheduled to hit on the day of my surgery and the models keep brining it further toward Houston. I know this is terribly self-centered to think of that at a time like this but it took an act of God to get my surgery approved and now it may not happen. Plus I really don't want to evacuate again. 24 hours to go 120 miles with 6 kids and a farting dog plus no bathroom is REALLY not fun.
