I am HOMe

Hi, Just a quick note to say I am home and doing well. Claudia

Claudia, I'm so happy your doing well....So tell us, how was your stay at the hospital? Teri

Hi Teri and Carol, My stay was ok except for getting sick. I got sick from the pain meds. Then they changed the pain med and i still got sick. But I am OK now. They almost would not let me come home as my oxegen level is low. I saw Harrington Sat, boy was he early like 6:15 AM. He told me the surgery went very well. Fri was a wash out for me. My son came in as soon as I got ot step down. After they washed me he can in. I didn't want company so I guess the nurse told me that I told him not to get confortable as I wasn't up to company. The first night i didn't get much sleep. But Sat got a little better.Early Sun I got the dry heaves. So i did not leave step down. I was dicharged from there. I am glad to be home thou. I slept in the recliner last night and proably will for a while. I am confused what I should be eating. So if you can tell me what i should be eating that would be greatful. Claudia

Happy to hear you made it through. Let us know how you made out and how was your stay.... carol b

hey claudia...happy to see all went well, i was hoping to see you friday but i was discharged from the hospital on thursday night...i also am a little confused as to what we can eat, when i left the hospital no one told me what diet i was on...i was on water until thursday (mind you surgery was tuesday morning) for breakfast i had juice, then they rushed me into lunch, cream soups and a mighty shake, then again for dinner, then i went home. that was the only part of the stay that bothered me, the whole introducing food thing, the hospital seemed a little confused as to what was going on, it was like i was rushed in one day, from water to full gastric bypass diet ...well i have been eating alot of water, juice, chicken broth, jello, sf popsicles, mashed bananas, cream of wheat (with that let it sit for a few to make sure it is completely expanded & it has to be thin) sf pudding(chocolate didn't sit well, instanly in the bathroom) i am having a problem with the protein, i gag, it's disgusting, i have been using carnation sf with skim milk and a scoop of non-fat dry milk as my protein drinks 8 oz. has 20 grams, better than gagging...well relax, take it easy (it's hard though) hope to hear from you soon....t...
