update on my craziness

Glad they found the source of your pain. My only flag was ' spending time thinking of what I can eat' refocus sweet lady. Think of things you will be able to do. Food has to become something you need to be healthy. Prayers for quick healing

The reason I'm focused on food now is my doctor said i will leave here going into the full liquid phase.   I wasnt prepared for that.   I went from 2 days of clears back to no food at all by mouth.   Basically I have not taken in food in and form in 11 days, save 1.5 there in the middle.   I think about food. 

Thank goodness they found the source of the problem.  Don't be discouraged if the weight on your own scale doesn't meet your expectations.  The IV are meant to make you retain fluids so it will take a little while to get rid of that.  No problem, just sip, sip, sip.  You are over the worse part!  Yea!

Glad you are finally on the mend. Take it easy. A 10 hour car ride sounds kind of rough after what you have been through

Thanks for the update honey,and I'm glad to hear they figured out what was going on. It sounds like you have a great doctor who takes his job seriously. Praying for quick healing and a smooth journey for you now.

I was just looking for a post from you yesterday. I was worried when I couldn't find one! I'm so glad they figured out the issue!! I hope that fixes everything and you recover fully as quickly as possible. It sounds like you're taking it in stride which is awesome. And that you're ready and willing to listen to what the Dr tells you, which is also great. 

I agree with the others that I would not care what the scale says right now. I know it's hard to not care but you've been through a lot plus surgery and anesthesia can add extra poundage anyway. I wouldn't blame you for wanting to see when you get home what it says but I wouldn't freak out if it's not what you want.

Keep us updated on your recovery!

I am so happy to hear that you are finally fixed up!!! And, glad you are feeling well.

I thought of nothing but food when I was on my liquid phase... don't worry about that, I think it's normal. All I watched on TV was the Food Network. When, I was able to eat, I was able to stick to what I should eat... you will be able to do that, too.
