Topic: RE: I'm on the other side!!
My hubby has the kids, I think its so funny that people are shocked at how hands-on my hubby is. He is a great help, bathing them, getting them dressed, feeding them. He is a modern man!
Recovery is WAY worse than I expected. Of course, this is the first time I've been in the hospital without a baby, or two, to take care of, so its just not as sweet, you know??
Are you getting ready, Diana?

Topic: RE: April 22 is my new birthday!
well im sure they will be great, the tomato would be great with some basil or chilli... mine was veg, I didnt mix properly so it was all lumpy! then last night I over mixed it and it was frothy savoury milk shake... not good, but I did add piri piri sauce into it so the taste was better but tonight i will make sure I dont put the blender on so long!
1 of the other OH family members posted that after 3 days it gets easier, well day has been much easier for me, even left my drinks in the car at work, so I bought a slimfast drink, only had 2 drinks all day.... what a difference!

Topic: RE: Surgery might not happen
Ditto what Emily said. I think we have had at least 5 April dates postponed and hopefully you will get in soon.

Your Home!!! We missed you here. I hope you are feeling better soon. Who is helping with the kids? Take care of yourself first.

That's funny!! I wish you were here with me! That would have been a blast. Everyone here has been super nice, even the waitresses last night. There is a language barrier but we've gotten through so far. I got my broth and jello, it was a feast compared to the previous days. I don't think I get to eat for another week, so I savored that 'last meal'.

Topic: RE: Surgery is Tomorrow and Started Liquid Diet Today. SCAREDDDDDD
My surgery was yesterday and I started a low carb diet for 1.5 and clear liquid for 5 days. Its just sxomething you have to go through and show yourself you cna do it. Stick to the diet, its worth it. He told me how well I did, he could tell from my liver.
I'm in pain but it gets better and better every hour. I just took a shower and a walk and feel pretty good considering the major surgery I just have.
He did a ds which is a vsg and bypass the intestines, took my gallbladder and appendix out.
Just remember why you are doing this! That is what is getting me through the day!
Sending hugs!

Hi Kim

I am going to look for the V8 to see about having it for my 2 days. Are you all packed? What kind of vitamins do you take and have you started taking them already as I havent. Do we need to take calcium or anything else?

My surgery is scheduled for April 19 and I know what you mean. I am also scared and excited. My surgeon requires a 2 week liquid diet. I started that yesterday.
