Tomorrow, I will celebrate my 1st week surgiversary. I'm getting around really good, no nausea, no vomiting, almost non-existent pain. I want to get out of the house more other than walking yet my so-called 

 I am almost a week postop and the people in my support system just don't get it.   I'm still on liquids and have to drink concentrated protein drinks… Almost 100 g a day.  It's like the people on my support system and think that I am making thi

Well I made it home!! Am sore after that car ride home. No nausea...yet...but am burping and passing gas regularly...lol.

Did any of you have weird pressure points that hurt? I have two points on my hips that are so sore...it's hard to get comf

Well Campers today is finally here. Hard as that is to believe. I have been working on this for 8 months toward this goal and I am finally within reach of it. 

I live about an hour or so from the Hospital and we will be leaving shortly. I have

Today I am down another five pounds. Which brings the total lost to 22lbs in 7 days. The goal is 5% prior to surgery and today I am at 3.81% I hope that this weekend I can squeeze another 2-3% out. 

Well, let's see. This week I got a lot done. In case I kick the bucket I got my plans all done. Living will set up...no worries not a DNR. This is just in case something serious happens and I end up a veggie or in a coma with no brain activity. I just

I feel like my body is betraying me. I had cottage cheese, protein drink, and yogurt at breakfast. Lunch was just a protein drink...I'm not hungry but my appetite is not what it was. I know to keep my energy up and my mood in a good place I have to eat

Here we are I started my liquid diet Thursday afternoon at Lunch. I was weight last Tuesday and got weighed again this morning and am down 17lbs. I will take that. 

So I had an EGD today. Not the most pleasant experience I was out but yet I was not out. I know this is going to sound gross but it felt like I kept gagging over and over. I wanted to put my arms up and grab my doctor but couldn't it didn't even feel l

I got myself all worked up over nothing. Pre-admission testing was a breeze. I'm sitting in the cafeteria at the moment and it just "hit me" this wave of emotions and all I could do was tear up. Let me say...I'm not a crier and when I cry something is

I have been shopping for my liquid diet. I am allowed to have sugar-free popscicles. Why are there carbohydrates in them if they are sugar free? I will ask the same question about cottage cheese and milk those have carbohydrates and sugars in them as w

Well, I ended up having a case of cellulitus ravage my left leg. Thankfully, a 3 day stay in the hospital plus a week of IV antibiotics twice a day, and am feeling like a million bucks at this point. Legs are wrapped in una boots and are being changed

Hey All, 

My legs are so swollen right now and they are kind of in a lot of pain. I do have compression stockings and I am wearing them and I'm also trying to be more active prior to my surgery. However, my body seems to not want to cooperate w

Anyone have hormone issues post op? If so, what might I expect??

I live with a smoker and hate smoking in general for a number of reasons. I am about to embark on this journey within the next month and were any of you more sensitive to smells or odors after surgery?

Well, I just got word from my surgeon's office that my chart is under review to make sure that I have all of the information needed for insurance. If I do then it will get submitted to insurance...if there is anything missing then I will have to get th

I got curious about a week ago and was wondering what a liquid diet would feel like physically and mentally. Lord knows I have enough fluff to keep me sustained for a while. 

Hey Guys and Gals, 

I have a friend who sells Reliv products. She is a cancer survivor and has touted its benefits and admitted that she was skeptical like I am right now. Have any of you tried the product? Thoughts and experiences? I want some
