Topic: RE: I'm not convinced my surgery worked anymore!
even though you have some sensation in your stomach, it is still numb and the nerves haven't healed yet. PLEASE don't eat anything else unless you blend the hell out of it. At most you should be on full liquids easing into pureed right now.
Serious complications can come about if even the slightest fragment of food gets lodged in your staple line. Until you are cleared to do so, PLEASE don't tempt it. Sip your protein shakes, wait a bit between sips. Eat soup that has been strained. CHEW sugar free popcicles to help with that craving. I wasn't hungry so much as I was missing the chewing sensation....
Please, don't sabotage yourself already. You've got a long way to go!

Topic: Surgery may be cancelled
Hello all,
I am flipping out! Last week when i went to get my pre-op blood work done, my Doctor and Seurgon both called me to tell me that my pottasium was low, and that my WBC was elevated. So my surgeon told me to recheck next week and if my WBC was still high we would have to reschedule my surgery. My PCP doubled my pottasium pills and called today to tell me to get my blood redone. So i took my lunch break to go get drawn. Mean while I found out I have a ear infection. I am trying to figure out why my WBC is elevated. I am not sick, no allergies, nothing just the ear infection which the doctor isnt sure that would be it or not. So I get my results and my pottasium is even lower than it was, and im doubling my dose, and my WBC went from 11.9 to 12.0...and my RBC is low..I know my surgeon is going to call tomarrow to cancel, and i just dont think its fair. I have worked so long and hard to get to this point. Im not sick, I dont know whats going on. Anyways i just wanted to vent. I am currently scheduled for 9-30-09. Cross your fingers. I have been crying all day.
thanks
Paula

Topic: RE: September 28th
I'm also scheduled for September 28th. I can't believe its just around the corner. I went to my first informational session last August - so its been just over a year - and now its only days away.
I feel like I'm ready to start this new part of my life... excited... nervous... not sure what to expect. I've been addicted to this site for the past few weeks. There is SO much information here - from inspriational stories to recipes.
Good luck everyone!!!!
