Wow that sucks.  Mine was not like that.  I hope they figure it out for you.

 I'm glad you are doing so well.

Just a word of warning, don't be discouraged if you gain instead of lose while you are in the hospital.  They pump you full of so much fluid, that most likely you will show a gain, but I promise that it will come off very quickly.  

Keep staying with the program.  You're doing great!

That low it sounds more like ovarian cyst or adhesions messing things up down low. Ouch, though.

I am having some intermittent acid problems, and since I am only 3 months out there is already talk of ulcer possibilities. I am trying to see if certain foods are triggering it. I think the Fruit2o Essentials may actually be the culprit.

Good luck and feel better!

Topic: Day 2
Day two here in the hospital, I've been up and showered, got my second iv out, they do some weird new thing with giving everyone insulin after surgery now (not just bariatric surgery) because they found certain blood sugar levels improved healing, that was fun because then they have to finger stick you every hour to check your sugar levels and finally they stopped all that early this a.m.  It was hard to sleep last night not because of pain but because of finger sticks, my roommate (who is sweet but had to be checked on also and that woke me up every time) and just the general hubbub of a hospital.  I have a nice nurse today and the very nice medical assistant man so that is all good.  I'm on sips of water, I've had a lot and would really love something more but nope, jus****er today.  That's ok, I don't want to pu****  I've walked 5 laps around the floor and will do more since there's not much else to do.  The plan is to go home tomorrow (yay).  The nutritionist came and saw me and made sure I didn't have any questions.  Everyone has been really good and I'm in good hands.  I feel good for the most part, can't wait to get home and back into real life.  Do you think the scale will say I lost when I get home?  I'll update later, I've got nothing better to do :-)
