2 week mark
Hey everyone…Just wanted to let you know that
today made exactly two weeks since my surgery. I am for
the most part doing really good. Just yesterday and
today however nausea has set in…I am told that it
will pass. Hope so…doesnt make getting that vitamin
down very easy! For those of you waiting on
surgery…gosh I was driving my husband nuts counting down those
days. But the important thing is…You do have approval
and a date and hey its down hill from there. For
those of you waiting on insurance approval…well I was
awful during that stage as well. Its like time stood
still and I was so worried that it wasnt going to
happen for me. So I certainly wish the best of luck to
you all…I know that dreadful feeling of watching
the calendar and clock. Just know that us post-ops
know exactly how your feeling…try to hang in there!!
Hope everyone has had a great week!

For those who are just now having to deal with
nausa and those still having to deal with it. here is a
couple of tips that i know.<br><br>1) Drink Tea in the
Morning = it looses the saliva that is stuck in your
throat. try Peppermint tea; its great for
digestion.<br><br>2) Don’t wait too long to eat something. Eat every
two to three hours, even if it is just a few
crackers.<br><br>3) Don’t eat too fast or too much. Your pouch is
very small and it takes time to empty so slow down.
Remember it takes you know about 20 minutes to eat 2
ounces.<br><br>4) Drink plenty of water or Fluids like Juices
(watered down if it is sweet like OJ)<br><br>That is all i
can think of right now, but there are more.<br>George
