    LOL I know what you mean abt the vitamin feeling like a meal! So, are you on clear liquids until next week? Wow, they started me on the protein the morning after surgery. 1 tiny medicine cup full of shake and 1 tiny med cup of liquid per hour. The dr said the protein helps speed up healing. *shrugs* who knows.....seems like every Dr has a different routine. But very happy to hear you are well also. I spent 3 hours out shopping today.....that is what NOT to do the day after coming home! But I should sleep well tonight!
    Keep up the good work....gonna have to look into getting a bunch of us NW PA losers together in Erie sometime next summer! Will be nice to fit on the rides at Waldameer!!! Take care! ~Shelley

First nsv for me

by thedoors1973 on 09-11-2012 at 03:13 AM
I had my first small NSV. I went to see my nutritionist. I had to go sit in the waiting room till she was ready. When I go to appt. I always look for seats that have no arms because I was to big to fit in most with arms. I looked at the love seat type chair and was gonna sit there. But i decided to see how I would fit in the chair with arms on it. I was so surprised to find out that i could sit in it and comfortably too. It's these small things that make you really know you've done the right

6 days post op

by thedoors1973 on 08-19-2012 at 02:48 PM
Going into this, I was expecting to be in lots of pain for awhile. There wasnt really much pain as i thought. The first few days I had bad gas pains and my abdomen was pretty sore when I moved. And everyday things get better and better. I woke up today and I have no pain at all. I feel really good. I started this in April and have lost a total of 63lbs. I lost 32 of it since Aug 2 (the start of my liquid diet.) This has definitely been the best decision I've made in a long time.

Home and feeling pretty good

by thedoors1973 on 08-16-2012 at 03:50 PM
I made it home yesterday. Feels so much better to be able to relax at home. I haven't had any major complications. The only problems were my blood pressure was running high like 160/90 or so but I was having gas pains. When the gas pains went away my blood pressure dropped to normal. The first 2 days i slept alot. I was a little nervous going into surgery. I even wrote a note on my phone for my kids incase something did happen. The pain wasnt bad at all. Very tolerable. As i sit here typing

EGD done today Not happy with results

by thedoors1973 on 07-23-2012 at 07:42 PM
I had a EGD done today. They go down your throat with a camera and check out your stomach and they take a sample for a biopsy. Apparently they found an infection or ulser caused by spicy foods or tomato sauces. It must be the tomato sauce because i hate spicy foods. They prescribed me with a pill i gotta take for 6 weeks. Thing is my surgery is sceduled for 3 weeks I really hope this doesnt mean i have to rescedule my surgery date. I go tomorrow for a preopp visit and i'll find out more
