Finally feeling human again...

by JuliaW on 11-25-2013 at 06:49 PM
Well, my surgery didn't go quite as planned. Long story short, I was getting weaker and more short of breath and couldn't figure out why. I had bleeding in my abdominal cavity and required a couple of transfusions. Yuck. That prolonged my hospital stay by a couple days. Now I feel off-track. I'm one week post-op and still only able to get in about 30 grams of protein a day. I can't seem to do even 4 ounces of fluids in an hour... I need help! Any tips? I also can't distinguish between the

Almost to the beginning!

by JuliaW on 11-15-2013 at 08:32 PM
My surgery was supposed to be last month, the surgeon quit, I frantically searched for a new one and met all his requirements... now I'm on day 5 of the pre-op diet. Surgery is Tuesday the 19th! I'm excited about the new surgeon, excited that I'm finally this close!

My first doc didn't require a pulmonologist, but the new one does. Fine, I went to the one he set me up with. Instead of introducing himself as he walked in, he greeted me with "How long have you been this fat?"

Change in plans

by JuliaW on 11-02-2013 at 05:04 PM
I was supposed to have my surgery on the 29th of October, but after 5 days of pre-op diet, they called and said my surgeon quit. JUST QUIT. Disappeared. Fell off the face of the earth. Left me hanging. So, after a few days of feeling sorry for myself, I picked up the pieces and went in search of a new surgeon. I found one who was willing to work with someone else's pre-op tests, and now I'm on the books again for the 19th. Hopefully this one will go through, but I have to say that after that

Liquid diet begins... Carnation Good Start, anyone?

by JuliaW on 10-16-2013 at 07:20 PM
I know all the different surgeons require different things, but mine wants me to use Carnation Good Start. I've got to do this for 2 weeks. I bought enough to last for 2 weeks, but have now found that I despise the chocolate flavor. Does anyone have tips to make this more palatable? I can use whatever kind of protein drinks I want after the surgery, but I need to make it through this first 2 weeks...
Thanks for any help!
