I actually logged on to see if there's a post from Bettina yet. Perhaps I'll e-mail her husband for an update. That's awesome after 3 weeks!! When did you start walking? I'm a week out today and I'm not sure when I can begin. Did you have LAP?- Also, please tell me what your daily intake is? So far I'm still petty much CLEAR liquids but I think I'm ready for a little variety - not really hungry though --How about you? Please advise. Thanks, Lauren LAP RNY 1/02/03 317/??? - - Hey Shelley:

I read the post where she had to stay a little longer because of fever. Hope she is back soon. I had my post-op appt. today. Friday will be 3 weeks and I have lost 23#. I have been real good about going and getting my 2mi walk in. I am wearing a pair of pants that have been in my too small stack. My doc took me off my last blood pressure pill and he said my diabetes is no longer an issue. I feel good and have had no problems. I hope you enjoy the same experience. Shell Hi Lauren,

WHERE IS BETTINA?? - We both had surgery Jan 2 - I came home today - HAS SHE SHOWED YET??? Anyway - Surgery was supposed to take 2 hrs with the gallbladder and took almost four!!! My Dr. is the best! Said it was CHALLENGING! Scartissue from gallbladder problems and 2 C-sections. I thanked him for not cutting me open - I really wanted LAP for recovery time. A few ?'s: 1) Gurgling sounds through my stomach, loud, is this normal? 2) Very soft, runny bowel movements (Sorry) 3) 2 sips of soup or water is enough at one time - is this ok? 4) Slight burning sensation at one incisional site - the one that was packed - and is kind of melting back together? <!--more--> Other than that, trouble getting comfortable- to be expected - and I'm freezing cold!!! I think I miss the morphine drip! Oh well - great to be back in one piece and starting on this wonderful journey! (By the way, I bought this book too, called ONE DAY MY SOUL JUST OPENED UP - 40 days and 40 nights toward spiritual strength and personal growth. I'm gonna do this, too. I figure I have a lot to be grateful for!! Thanks all Lauren LAP RNY 1/02/03 317/??? ADVERTISEMENT Well guys, I’m SOOO happy to be on the other side - thanks to all who
