Hi all, Not a lot of changes to report here, I'm 10 days short of 2 months post-op and down -45.6lbs. ! I'm sure it'd be more if I could only walk further than 5-10 minutes at a time. *sigh* Still in search of a couple of the vaccinations I need because of also loosing my spleen during surgery. Insurance co. is not wanting to pay for the scripts my PCP has written, they want PRE-APPROVAL on them, gee I thought that was what a script was, but NOPE! Some parts of this journey are getting old real fast, can I change my mind now? lol yeah right, too late for that one. Still fighting to get meds/protein/fluids in each day, I feel like all I do is think about what next I have to put down my throat. I think about food more now that before surgery, I was never this pre-occupied with it before and ate healthy (most the time). I found what is a new product to me on the grocery shelf AND I can get it down too (amazing) I'm so sick of eggs and oatmeal for breakfast I was looking hard and found what is made by Quaker called Q-Smart snack bars. Lowdown on them is: Total fat= 6 g Saturated fat =2 g Trans Fat = 0 g Cholesterol = 0 g Sodium = 170 g Total Carbs = 9 g (3 impact) Dietary Fiber = 2 g Sugars = 1 g Sugar Alcohol =4 g and Protein = 10 g comes in different flavors/not a bad option from eggs IMH0 Oh and I cut my hair off - was having a good day yesterday and it was driving me crazy, so off it went and is going to Locks of Love. Dr. C? Did you get the results of my bloodwork? If so please mail me as my PCP had not received them yet on Friday and I'd like to know. **please note**If your my friend and want to get a hold of me, I have an different email address, please make changes or you won't find me [email protected]. God Bless, Vickie

Hi Vickie, Please don't feel alone in the "fighting to get meds/foods/protein" battle. I go through it everyday also. I never worried so much about anything as I do this. The protein is a constant battle as I think I am becoming intolerate to milk. Most foods still taste like drywall smells and I am always looking for something that taste familiar to me. I bought one of those cheap TV dinners with salisbury steak(who knows what is in it) and I was able to eat half of it for dinner yesterday. Right now I am not so worried about the fat in food as I am in getting any calories in at all. I still feel weak and steps have become a nightmare for me. I am always afraid that my legs will give out on me. I know the feeling of "should I have done this?" and I can say that everyday is one of I don't know. Somedays yes and somedays no. I told my niece today it is really a lifetime change. There are still foods that I am terrified to try and I won't eat anything that has more then a bit of sugar in them. Hang in there....we're in this for the long haul. Ain't no going back now! Although there are times when I would kill for a juicy burger! Cathy -60 pounds
