I am home and doing ok

Hi to all my hoosier friends. I am home, I did come home Thursday evening.  I think now it was a little early.  I continued vomitting all night Wed. night thru Friday evening.  It was only when I would get up from laying down.  It was terrible.  They said it was normal, that your stomach is used to being one way and now it is a different way and just isnt used to it.  I am not vomitting now, but still have the gas.  I was having chest pain from the drain tube, so I called the doc and the nurse told me how to take it out, it feel a little better, but still have the gas.  I am getting my protein, meals and fluids in as well as my vitamins.  I cannot find Calcium anywhere in my area though, so I am going to have to check with the dietician Thursday. Thank you to those who come to visit me, I remember you being there.  I was still very groggy. Thank you to all who kept me in your prayers, I really appreciate all of you. I just wanted to update you all.  I will not be on again for a few days, because my computer is down at home, so I have to wait until I am at my mom's or my in-laws.   Good luck to all of you that have upcoming surgeries if I dont get to post. Jenny

Congratulations!  You're new life has begun....

go online to cvs.com and look for the liquid calcium its like 18 buck a bottle but it will last you all month. you take one or to shots of it a day and you get it all in.. ask the nut at st v's she has a paper for it . if the nut you see doenst know ask to talk to marlynn she is awsome and welcome home  vicki

I am so happy to see that you are home and doing well, Jenny. We were all wondering about you! Hope you can get some calcium soon. That will really help out!  Take it easy, and post when you can. Good luck, and God bless you for a speedy recovery!

I'm so glad your home and doing okay!!! I tried to come see ya :)

I am so glad you are doing ok.  We were so used to your posting that it was a bit of concern that we hadn't heard from you.  The vomiting is a bummer. . . I never had to deal with that.  And though I have had gas, I must be so full of hot air that the gas just seemed about the same.  Re:calcium-that was the last thing I dealt with,  I didn't really get started until after the first post op appointment.  I bought some liquid calcium and didn't like.  I finally threw it away after I found Citracal creamy bites which I get at Kroger or at CVS online mail order.  I have also heard they have them at Meijer and they are good!!  Get well, quit vomiting, pass some gas and back to normal!!!!

hi there jenny~~~glad everything went well-how u feeling? just remember to drink-drink--if not it will only bring u problems like myself--i still struggle every day on the fluids and i pay for it too because i am in hosp every 2 weeks for fluids and potassium and i hate hospitals-sorry i couldnt come visit but i was thinking about you!  take care talk soon loves ya

Jenn, Im glad you are home and doing so well.  It only gets better after that darn tube comes out so u should be well on your way to healing now.  That tube was the very worst part for me.  Take care

Hey Jenny! I'm glad you are home and on the mend!  Take good care of yourself and have a quick recovery!!

Hi Jenny, I haven't talked to you in some time. I'm Lisa K's mom. Terri from New Castle. Lisa had her surgery and is doing well. I'm sorry you are still getting sick. Hang in there. It will get better with each passing day. I'm still waiting for my WLS. My last visit for my 6 month visit with my doctor is on the 29 of this month. Hoping I can get everything done before the end of the year. Take care of yourself. Terri
