Update on Kelly!!

I spoke to Kelly today and she is doing good. She was saying that she could not understand why her doctor would not do the leak test today. She said her doctor always waits one full day after surgery to have it done. Shhe is due to have it tomorrow. She is quite uncomfortable with her throat being so dry. She is going to go home on saturday if all goes well with the leak test. I told her I will call again tomorrow and check on her again. Her husband and Mom are there with her so that is a good thing. Atleast she is not alone. Please continue to keep her in your thoughts and prayers. Hugs, Cira

That is good news, get well soon Kelly!!! Cira, you are everyones angel.

Hi Linda, There was a can be reached number on the surgery page so I decided to call just to see how she is doing. Hugs, Cira

Thanks Cira for updating us on how she is doing. Hope all goes well with her leak test. They waited a full day for mine too. Yuck that stuff was nasty but after not having anything to drink it was soothing to my mouth. Cant wait to hear from her when she is home

Thanks for the updates Cira

Cira, Thanks for the update. I had my leak check the next day too. Wanda

Hi Wanda, I had a leak test the next day too. But she has to wait 48 hours. She had surgery yesterday they consider waiting one fulkl day after her surgery, which is weird because she had surgery early yesterday. With me my surgery was like 9am on a Tueesday and by Wednesday afternoon I had my leak test. She had surgery Wednesday and has to wait until Friday for the leak test. How are you doing?

Oh ok. I did misread that. I had surgery at 730am Tues and leak check around 11am next day. Very strange. Oh well, doctors are all so different in their protocols. I am doing ok. Just wanting the weight to come off faster. (sigh) Wanda

Tell me about it. I feeli like I have to pull teeth to lose some weight. What's going on? I had a 2 weeks stall that drove me bonkers. How much have you lost so far? What are you eating now? Are you on purees yet? Hugs, Cira

I had a gain of three pounds around day 12 and then a stall for like a week. It has started moving down again, slowly. I have lost 25 so far. I am eating anything I want. Today I had 4 ounces of low fat cottage cheese with crushed pineapple for breakfast, lunch was 3 ounces of a leftover chicken dish I made. (chicken breast, peppers, onions, water chestnuts, bean sprouts) with 1 ounce brown rice. Dinner was 3 ounces low fat deli roast beef in fat free gravy, spoonful mashed potatoes, and small amount of salad. Protein shake in between lunch and dinner. Maybe I am eating the wrong things. Does this sound bad?
