Topic: RE: Day 4 after surgery
Chastyty,
Congrats on your surgery and being 4 days out!
Just take it one day at a time and follow all the rules. They are there for a reason.
Hope you can make it to one of the support groups. They are incredible for keeping people on the right track and maybe you can get some tips to help with the 'picking up things and putting them into your mouth without thinking' syndrome.
Good Luck!

Topic: Where's the Iron???
Ok now I am confused. Saw Dr. G yesterday and she says everything looks real good. However... I need an iron supplement. She says it has to be CHEWABLE it has to be a FUMARATE, and it should be strength of 325. I thought "easy enough" WRONG!!! I have checked with Stop & Shop, Vitamin World and GNC. Nobody has it. Anyone have any ideas??? Loved to get some feedback on this one! Thanks a bunch! Eldy

Topic: 2 Questions
Hi all-
1st - when do Dr. Pohl's patients start on pureed food? Is it 2 weeks after surgery? I know he told me, but for the life of me I cannot remember
(Dr. P. did you remove a few brain cells too?)
2nd - I hate sweets. I hate chocolate. My size came from huge portions of salty, savory foods. I have to force myself to drink the shakes. Everyone that I have tried taste like over-ripe bananas. Does anyone know of a shake that is NOT sweet? I have made some homemade chicken broth and that is good but I really need the convience of a shake when I return to work.
Thanks!
Patti

Topic: Day 4 after surgery
It has been 4 days since surgery, starting to feel like myself again. The gas is finally started to let out! I think that has been the worst problem with this whole procedure so far. Don't feel really hungrey or anxious. At times I want to but something in my mouth,so I do and spit it right out. I then ask myself why am I going through all of this, if I am going to mess it up everytime I get an urge. Anyways, things are good, going for my walks with my family, just got a new shake, mango and peaches YUMMMMY......... cant wait to have breakfast.
Topic: Just one more week to wait!
Hi everyone! Well by this time next week I will most probably be in the OR at RWMC! I'm very excited and I have to tell ya, Im not nervous yet.....YET! I think by the weekend it may set in? It really doesn't matter because I'm doing the right things, on the liquid diet (starting my 2nd week ugh!) By my scale Ive lost almost 8 lbs. on the liquids (I dont have a digital scale) . Gonna go to the meeting tomorrow night at RWMC and listen to Heather G. (she's my NUT too!) She's wonderful! Soooooo hope to see you guys there!

Hey Pattie, it is Chastyty we met in the hospital over the weekend, I am glad to hear that you are doing good. I have been o.k. still having some difficulties with the gas, but finally getting through it! Don't get discouraged with your weight gain, think about, what could you have possibly ate that could have made you gain 15lbs.lol It is all water weight and it will be gone in a few days. I have not jumped on the scale yet, I think I am going to wait till next week. I am very bloated still and have not been able to have a bowel movement.
You are so right about the support, especially from people that are going through the same thing.
Wishing you a fast recovery,
Chas.
