Velda, Im sorry you are having such troubles. What does your dr say about the nausea? Maybe he can order you something to help keep things down? Are you getting all your protein and water in? That is very important when it comes to weight loss, so that could be part of your not losing too. I am only 6 days post op and so far I seem to be doing just fine. Still on full liquids and I havent had any nausea yet. I will keep you in my prayers. Let me know how you are doing. Take care and God bless Cindy

Thanks so very much and I am wishing you well.

I am still pre-op so don's have advise. Just hang in there! Sounds like you are doing OK. Can't wait to be a loser with you!

I hope someday to have a butt shot like that!! Way to go!! This is my first "Iowa" post. Hi to fellow Iowans. I hope to have a date real soon. Jumped through the final hoop, I think. Wish my luck!!! Mary

Hijack! Hey, Dixie, how are you? If you're like me, you lurk here occassionally. How is school going for you? My future DIL's mom is in nursing school right now and she said last week as she tried to pin a corsage on me, that she could probably insert a catheter in me easier! I declined and had her just stick with the corsage. The kids are getting married next Saturday! I've been really busy with the wedding stuff and my trip to Mayo for the low blood sugar thing. They are 99% sure I have NIPHS - nonisulinoma pancreatogenous hypoglycemic syndrome. I've been on Precose but I'm not tolerating it very well anymore. So, I'm probably going to have to have 70% of my pancreas removed sometime this summer. I just want to be able to eat like a "normal" person again. I'm getting tired of eggs, cottage cheese, protein bars and shakes. Hope you are doing well! Hugs Lyn
