What do others think?
I know that W & C has a great facility...But what about ICU if there's an emergency?
I'd like to hear opinions.
I am sorry you was not able to make it to the meeting but hopefully you can be there the next time. One thing I want to let you know is that you are very early out so all you can do is work to reaching your goal of protein. But it doesn't mean that you will reach it this early out. It took me to get to almost 3 months post op before I could reach to getting in 65 grams of protein a day.
What I would suggest to you is buying greek yogurt it is hiogh in protein. It tastes like sour cream so you can add s/f pudding to it with splenda or fresh fruit with splenda. You can drink your protein drinks to help reach your goal. This is a slow process getting there you can not force it. It will get easier day by day I promise you that.
As for the pain on your side I had that for a good while too. Just make sure to let your doctor know if it doesn't go away soon.
Now as for the peanut butter episode from what you explained it doesn't seem like dumping. It is dry and it might have just gotten stuck. I couldn't eat peanut butter that early out eaither it would go down really hard. I could only lick it little by little from a spoon and it would take me over an hour to lick one tbs.
Just remember to take your time since you are so early out. I am here for you if you need to ask a question or just talk. send me a message anytime.
Hugs to you!

I am so glad that you have access to going to a support group in your area. I have been trying desparately to start one in my area. I have been trying to get in contact with some people but I haven't had the luck of getting a response. I am going to have my first meeting even if it is only 3 people. I am sure that with time people will hear about and chose to stop by. It is so amazing to get the support learn new things and make great friends all in the same process.
I wanted to let you know that I took liquid calcium for the first 4 months post op after that I started to take the pills and I save a lot of money by buying the pills. I buy the ones that are the equivalent to citracal calcium citrate at sam's club. I also get the Equate brand at wlamart pretty cheep. I just like the big bottle at Sams because you get a whole lot more pills which lasts a long time.
Keep us posted on your appt with your surgeon.
Take care!

JOY
* Our family is a circle of love and strength. With every birth and every union, the circle grows. Every joy shared adds more love. Every obstacle faced together makes the circle stronger. The love of a family is life's greatest blessing.
I have reached my goal!

I would love to help everyone with a daily affirmation post. This is something that helps me greatly day to day. I hope for you all to participate with responding with your own affirmation. It is ok if you don't respond right away hopefully soon you will want to participate.
Affirmations are statements of acceptance that one uses to allow the manifestation of your destiny. They are powerful and positive thoughts and statements sent out to the universe. To do positive affirmations, you need to eliminate the negativity around you. You must first believe that YOU CAN manifest your destiny. It must be a positive, powerful belief not just 'maybe I'll try and see if this works". Together with visualization, you can create the life you want.
Here are mine for today:
I release any negative or fearful self-images.
I let go of any burdens that are not mine to carry.
Have a great day everyone!
