thank you for all your concerns...and words of wisdom
ok... so here it is... i called dr p, and he is satisfied with my fluid intake for now... i have definately forced em' in....he is not ready to scope me just yet, because he thinks that it is still healing, and it's just taking longer than normal because of the lack of protein( which helps the healing process)... i also need to start taking vitamins and prilosec faithfully!!!!!!!!!
so now i am forcing in the protein... any way i can get it!!!!!!!! so much as to even plugging my nose while drinking it...i am back to shakes atleast 2x's a day....
all i can say is i thought i was going to be the model patient and thought this was going to be the easy part...taking vitamins, drinking a couple shakes a day... yeah right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! who knew i was going to turn into a nightmare!!!!!!!
i'll keep you posted

Linda, I love ya and say this with the best of intentions for you... bite the bullet and do as the good surgeon says. Talking to Heather is NOT going to help in this situation. If your opening is too small, Heather cannot fix it. Only Dr. P can. It is not as bad as all that. For now you will probably only stay a very short time on the IV fluids. The stretching of the opening is just the same as an endoscopy and you know how easy that was. You keep waiting, and you will be in the hospital even longer with more severe symptoms. Did you go to all this trouble just to play games with your health??? This is not just a little ole diet you used to do, this is LIFE CHANGING and you need to do what is RIGHT and HEALTHY for you! Suck it up and just do it and get it over with so you can enjoy the rest of your summer!!!
Ok I'm all done chewing you out. Like I said, I really care about you and want you better! Love ya! Eldy

Topic: One Year Ago
It is so hard to believe that only one year ago I weighed 286lbs and was wearing a size 26! In just one year I have lost 115 lbs and can now wear a size 12... a 12! its crazy!
I just wanted to say thanks for all of your help and support along the way. I dont know what I would have done without all of you!
Love always,
Meredith
