- Ponderings of an 11 day post op er.... It is just past 10pm here in Oregon, and I must warn you the last time I was 'under the inflence of medications I tried to send a private msg to JJ and it came out kinda scary!! LOL!! 'Tonight I have taken a...
- Howdy all! Hope you've had a dandy weekend!! So, come Tuesday it should be off to real food for me! I've done great on stage 2. I've been able to get all my protein and fluids in... oh, and my 6 mini walks a day! But my NUT tells me sold/real food...
- so.... I cannot seem to find any valuable or reasonable information on malabsorption and the rate of it post RNY. I understand that it would vary from person to person, and dependent upon the length of intestine bypassed. However, you'd think there...
- I believe having my hubby put away our scale while I was at the hosp has been one of the best decisions I have made!! I was telling Linda (pancreatickidsmom) the other day when she called me (how sweet was that!?) how I felt like my blouse fit...
- So.... this am (it's only 9 here in Oregon) I really felt the need to hang out in my PJ's. However, I also needed to get in my walk, but was not going out in my PJ's with my hair standing on ends and scare the neighbors... so as an alternate to my...
- I see there is lots going on about buddies,,,, this is awesome!! If you still want/need one.... or see someone who does and you want to be their buddy.... please speak up! I see there are two surgeries for the 9th... and several other just around...
- Hey all! So today make one week since surgery! Things are going well and I could not be happier with how this last week has played out :) Several of you have sent me messages asking how my week went, what a day looks like, how do I get in my protein...
- Ok all.... I cannot believe as one of the supporters of the buddy thing I fell down on the job! I just chatted with Meg, and she is doing well. Didn't sleep too great her first night (I get that! Neither did I). She said she is allowed to have water...
- JJ posted the idea of people having a surgery buddy... I can tell you that I had Joy and LInda to text and bug during my hosp stay and more. It was the best thing (they were the best!!) to have someone who knows about this first hand (joy had just...
- LOL! Ok... so I head out for my 3rd walk of the day (been getting in 6 short, just under 10 min walks a day).... This most recent one is the first one I didn't have a partner for. Today it was my son (how nice),,,,But because I am on my own, I grab...
- I am feeling pretty darn good about this thing!Protein for the day (when I finish off my drink) will be 80 gms (my doc goal is 80 to 100) Liquids for the day... about 80 oz as well :) After I go for this next walk, I will be at 6 for the day....
- Folks.... I just cannot imagine taking this journey without all of you!! I mean this so VERY SINCERELY!! Being in the hosp the last couple days and unable to come here and chat really brought home for me how much I depend upon all of you!! Thank you...
- Hey all, i miss you! But I'm headed home today! My phone won't let me post here for some reason... But am using hubbys so i could pop in and say hi! I'll catch up with y'all later today or tomorrow.
- I finally gave up on trying to sleep! And I decided Oscar sums up my feelings very well this AM..."I got that "excited/scared" feeling. Like 98% excited, 2% scared. Or maybe it could be 98% scared, 2% excited but that's what makes it so intense!" ...
- Ok... So I spent some time in the bathroom.... but for several hours now, nothing. (Sounds like I am complaining!) Seems like from past bowel prep experiences this "event" went on all day long! Does it matter?
