Update

Ive been gone a while because my net was down. I had surgery on October 21st, in Detroit at Henry Ford Hospital.However, I am Canadian and live in Ontario Along with my bypass, I had a hiatia hernia repaired. 50% of my stomach was in my chest. my 2 hour surgery ended up taking over 7 but my recovery went extremely well. Physically. I still dont eat much of anything. Im just now able to tolerate 1/2 an egg, a bite of chicken, mashed potatoes and milk. I can eat sunflower seeds now too. Some days I end up not eating anything at all, but get in my liquids and protein shakes. Last I checked I was down 85lbs. It really blows my mind. I feel so much better and I love it when I see ppl who dont even recognize me! I just checked over what everyone was eating and Id be in heaven if I could but Ill just keep waiting. My surgeon said its because the hernia repair is still healing. I dont throw up as much anymore. Used to be several times a day, now its1-2 a week. I can drink juice without problem, even oj, but pasta sauce is the death of me, lol. Anyway, just wanted to update and now that Im online, get back in the swing of things. Debb

Hello Debb, glad you are feeling better. I for one did real well with no complications. My friend had alot of vomiting but she had a scope done and every since she has been doing good. Your weight loss is excellent keep up the great job. Take care, Janice

85# how wonderful!! Sorry to hear you had such a ruff start. I'm very glad you are doing better. I haven't thrown up and hope I never do. I heard it hurts like the dickens. I have dumped though. Never want to do that again. Hopefully you will be all healed up soon and can add a little more to your can eat list. Barbara

Welcome back Debb. I am glad that you are doing better and your weight loss is wonderful. Sheryl
