Life After WLS

May the One who was a source of blessing for our ancestors, bring blessings of healing upon you, a healing of body and a healing of spirit. May those in whose care they are entrusted, be gifted with wisdom and skill, and those who surround them, be gifted with love and trust, openness and support in their care. And may they be healed along with all those who are in need. Blessed are You, Source of healing. Amen.

Holy crappola, Grim! I was just wondering this morning why I hadn't seen you in a few days. I appreciate your ability to keep your sense of humor through this, and sending you wishes for a speedy recovery!

OMG Grim, what a scary and terrible thing to happen to you!  So glad you're okay, and thank you for translating the lesson from this so we can all learn something from it. 

Btw what does 6 or 7 units of blood weigh?  Hope it rewarded you on the scale ;-)

As I'm sure  you would have guessed, I ended up gaining about 8 pounds from all the fluids. I was tempted to start a thread about gaining after not eating for days, but I didn't have the patience.

Just as well because I wouldn't have had the patience to read it. 

Have you read something similar before?

I need to use protein shakes for a while. Any suggestion which tastes best?

Oh lordy.  Someone is feeling better ;-)

Double red cells. 

You gained weight? There, there (insert hand patting here)...You should start a thread about it...Maybe you will get weird prayers and unicorn glitter farts...it could happen...

In all seriousness , you scared the crap out of me, my friend...What if you had died...How long would it have taken for someone to find your Basement Boot Camp Piggies???  Wait...wonder how skinny we could get....

I have a failsafe rigged.

Thanks Gina.
