Obesity surgery

hanks to everyone’s concern. I am feeling a lot
better. I am now able to eat and drink like I am suppose
to. The doctor called be today personally, he just
got back from a surgical seminar and wanted to make
sure I was doing all right since I had been in the
hospital when he had to leave. I asked him if my
occasional nausia would ever go away, he said that it would
as my stomach heals. I was greatful for that because
I was constantly nausiated before surgery and was
hoping the proceedure would correct it. I am glad to
know that it will go away. I’m able to eat three times
a day and drink the amount of fluids that they
suggest. How much fluid and what kind doing any of you
consume? I am looking for some new ideas. A lot of the
juices make me sick in the stomach and so I drink mostly
(more…)

oes anyone out there know the amounts of
vitamins we should be taking in. In other words, for
example, IRON. How much is good in a day. I found some
multi vitamins for kids that are chewable that do not
say sugar free but I looked all over for sugar and
the only thing I saw was aspartame. They are sooo
sweet. I also want to get the B12, zinc and othes but
don’t know how much a day. Anyone help! I went to GNC
yesterday but the guy working was totally useless and I
could not get any answers!

im, I just wanted you to know you’re in my
prayers for a safe and successful surgery. I can only
imagine you must be a bundle of nerves right now! I wish
you a speedy recovery and make sure to keep us posted
on how things go! God bless and take care. Wendy

just found out today via a phone call, that
I’ve been approved for surgery…yippeeeee! I should
have the pre approval letter by next week so I can get
the surgery scheduled. Please keep your fingers
crossed for me that there won’t be any last minute
problems! Take care everyone!<br>Wendy

‘ve missed everone since I’ve been sick. I got
my staples out Friday and got sick over the weekend
and found myself in the hospital ER Sunday night and
back in the hospital Monday for an infection. I wasn’t
able to eat or drink anything and was dehydrated. By
Wednesday I was on my way back home and feeling much
better, able to eat and drink now. I hope to catch up on
all the messages. I missed the group.<br>Corinna
