Home from Hospital
Hi everyone, Well i'm home from hospital. I had my surgery tuesday.Everything went well. Dr did find a hiatal hernia in my esopagus. That was worked on also.I am doing okay wih full liquid. I was wondering if I could try some butter with my cream of wheat. If yes what kind? Brand. I am in alittle pain. I have not had any cravings or vomit. Knock on wood.... Cindy
I am glad everything went well and your home. I have used a little country crock on my mashed potatoes, No problems. You might try just one bite and wait a few minutes to make sure. I hope your pain goes away. I still have not vomited, have felt a little sick to my "pouch". Just remember to eat slowwwww. and don't forget to sip, sip, sip. your water. .... Susie
CINDY THE PAIN IS PROBABLY FROM THE CO2 (GAS) THEY USED TO EXPAND YOUR BELLY WHILE PUTTTING YOUR BAND IN LAPERSCOPICLY, THAT WAS MY BIG PROBLEM THE GAS PAINS WERE HORRIBLE. I HAVE BEEN DOING PUREED, SOFT TYPE FOOD FOR ABOUT A WEEK. I WAS DOING CREAM SOUP AND SOFT FOOD AFTER WEEKS 2, I CAN ONLY EAT 1X A DAY, HAVE TO DO PROTEIN SHAKES FOR 2 MEALS A DAY FOR 6 MONTHS, BUT ACTUALLY I NEVER FEEL HUNGRY, I DO START FEELING LIKE MY BLOOD SUGAR IS DOWN IF I DON'T DO SOME THING BY 2:30 PM, SUSIE
Hi Cindy,
I am happy to hear that your surgery went well. I too am having the surgery with Dr. Applebaum as my surgeon. I have my appt with him Oct 12. I have been cleared by my cardiologist, NUT and 2 PSYCHs. I have done the seminar. Unless anything else comes up. I am good to go.
I am going to post on your personal site.
Good luck,
Marsha
