Obesity surgery

thanks

First of all my husband has made SEVERAL comments that he thinks the dr
missed my stomach and hit my brain during the bypass….I have said and done the
STUPIDIST stuff lately!!

Second of all..When I was pregnant the only reason I knew was because of the
positive test until I was able to feel her move..I felt TOOOO good…I feel
the same way now. Except this time a HPT wont prove it for me..LOL

I heard stories of people being sick in the beginning and only being able to
take tiny sips of water when you drink. about dumping etc…i was scared to
death but thought thats what i needed to help me "learn" to eat right..To make
the best of my new "tool"…Well I am only 12 days post but so far I have had
NOTHING…I have eaten refried beans with cheese, fat free sugar free vanilla
and chocolate pudding..Egg whites, fat free milk…so far everything has been
great..I havent felt any pain or discomfort when i ate..i forgot today about
(more…)

anywhere know a good website where i can get the COMPLETE List of Nutritional
value for foods…

example: eggs, corn, broccoli…that type of stuff…not canned or packaged
stuff…
Thanks

Hello,

This is my first post, though I’ve been reading the posts for about 5 months.
I’d like to ask for some advice/opinions/experiences.
I had my surgery on Sept 29th. Went home on Oct 3rd, and I just "got worse."
As how one feels after surgery really isn’t something you can "predict" I
assumed how I felt was normal. I had no interest in food. I saw my doctor a
few days later, and he encouraged to "force" myself to get my protein shakes in.
However, I just couldn’t manage to get them down.
Finally on Oct 8, I woke to horrendous pain. So bad that I called an
ambulance, as hubby and sons were off to work. I barely recall that day, as I
was so
out of it from the pain. Finally after what seemed like centuries, it was
discovered that I had a leak. So a drain was inserted, and my doctor told me
NOTHING by mouth for 1 month. The first few days I barely recall. I was really

Howdy All,
Thanks so beary much. I sure am inspired by all who have given me so much
love. Really that’s what it is, because when you care enough to read and respond
you are compassionate people. I am going to start busying myself with something
to do around the house and just take one day at a time. I am so thankful that I
have all of you to talk to and that you encourage me. It really is making a
difference in my life. I was a very active member of my church untill surgery
and I know there are quite a few people praying for me, but only 2-3 people have
actually called to see how I am doing. So all you wonderful people in this group
have become like family. I again do greatly appreciate your support.
Today I have a huge smile that I can keep all day because of all of you.
By the way, I am from San Antonio Texas, the home of the Alamo, the River
Walk and yes the Spurs, if your into basketball.

Hi Susan - What a concept, everything fell into place. This is very encouraging

Hello my name is Betty, I had my surgery nov 17th 2003. My
surgery went fine, but I am afraid to eat and i don’t know why. I
am still on full liquids. I have never had any nausea, vomiting or
anything. The main thing that happens when I consume
anything, is gas. My concern is how much to eat at one time, and
how to know when to stop. My stomach doesn’t really feel any
differently.Could someone tell me their expierences with this?
thank You so very much, Betty

Does anyone have trouble with hiccups?? Also I just ate my first meal off
liquids and I am concerned it was too much! I ate 1 boiled egg (white only) and
1/4 pudding!!

Does anyone know if you can return things to GNC?? I Have these drinks and
just can NOT drink them…..My husband thought he was doing good and bought a
case of them and I have only drank about 4 :o( UUUUGHHHHH
