Topic: RE: FYI Muscle
I love weight lifting. If I could ever get over this cold then I would get back to the gym and pump some iron! LOL! 
Good luck with your weight training!

Topic: RE: ABOUT TO EXPLODE!!!
I don't blame you a bit. I'd demand a scope too. This far out, you would hope that you'd start to feel better. Vomiting and feeling terrible is something the doc should be trying to help you out with. I realize that liquids are one way to get things to calm down, but geez! Best of luck to you.

Topic: ABOUT TO EXPLODE!!!
Just a vent... sorry... you dont have to read....
If I dont get to eat something soon I am going to EXPLODE... I havent actually been hungry since surgery... but not I want some food. I know it is because my doctor said only liquids this weekend... but HELL I want food NOW
I am tired of having stricture problems... I am tired of them not listening to me about having another stricture (who said it is too early).
Monday I am demanding a scope!!!
On top of all of this... I am PMSing and I have a cold...arrgghhhh
If you read all of this... sorry.

Topic: RE: CRAPPY DAY!!!!
I am so sorry you are going thru this.
My doc said that 5 weeks (when I had my stricture) was about the right time.. anywhere from 4-6 weeks... LOL
I swear I have one now.. but they dont think so.... I am on liquids all weekend. I am so crabby and b*tchy that I could chew your head off if you looked at me funny.
I WANT FOOD!!!!
I am calling my surgeons office on Monday telling them to do a scope and see what is going on there.
I also thought about a stent.. not sure if that would work or not though...
I hope you feel better soon.... and thanks for your support.

I have been getting emails from someone named LynnForever at aol.com concerning a response I made to her post (I don't know which one she is) about not being able to get in all her food and water. I commented that, whether you think you can, or think you can't -- either way, you're right. My intent was that sometimes a change of attitude -- doing the best you can and thinking that you CAN do something -- can really help. She wrote to me, all pissed off saying that I was crazy and demeaning. I said that I had only intended to help and that I hoped she wouldn't get dehydrated from not being able to drink enough. Then I get another nasty response telling me not to write back to her. WTF??? I have tried to help (maybe not by coddling, to be sure), but I don't think I deserved this treatment. Whoever the F you are Lynn, don't grace my mailbox again. Keep your negative and hurtful attitude and stick it where the sun doesn't shine. Geez Louise!

Misty,
I haven't been through this, but I wanted to give you some ((((HUGS))))!! I know this can't be fun at all!
Have you posted about this on the revision board? There might be people there that have been in your situation, that can give you some help and comforting words.
Good luck to you! I hope everything turns out the way you want/need! ((HUGS))

Stephanie,
(hugs) Being malnurished from lack of protein can be a dangerous thing. But I'm glad to hear your surgeon has you on a good protein diet! I didn't want to come across as a 
, but there are some surgeons out there that do the surgery with no followup care at all. I just wanted to make sure you, or anyone else reading this thread that is in that boat understands how important protein will be for the rest of our lives. We have this surgery to gain our health back. That was my concern, to help others from not getting sicker.
Good luck on the rest of your WLS journey!!
