Wasn't sure where to poss this (what forum), need friends on my fitness pal who are willing to share their profile diary. Use to use lose it app, but after sleeve, my fit pal perfect. Can anyone add me please. Doing well just want food, exercise and progress to share. Thanks in advance . I finally crawled out from under rock I was hiding. I'm katscrapper1

I'm in sac

I have a case of the oh poor me's & need to wallow and then lick my wounds and pull myself up by the boot straps. Been off work 7 months broken leg, torn meniscus, surg, casts, bone stimulator, brace and now vertical sleeve. Brother died, I'm I'm jeopardy of losing my job, financial changes being on disability. Finished grad school and all the trauma & triumph of that. No social life anymore, no contact with friends and very little family. Can't drive, gave up coffee, diet coke & have a post op wound infection. If u have something snarky to say, please don't, I am as low as I have ever been in my life. Yes I started med and seeing a professional, but have really lost the will to fight anymore. Don't call I am not 5150 able, just lettin ya'll know takin a time out as I don't want to keep bringing negative vibes to all the fabulous folks I've met on this site. Take care, I wish u all the very best. When I can I will resume my activity. Bless u all and continue the fight for me. Good bye my battle buddies.

Omg phenomenal and I want that dress

Post op day 13. Had to talk to on call surgeon this weekend. Two sites infected. Red, warm, pain, swollen, no fever or pus. Glad I insisted they see me today. Staples taken out, had reaction to adhesive tape, very bad. The two sites open up after staples removed and pus came out. So now packing wounds 3 times a day,ouie. Got cleared for purée, taking whole pills and all of vitamins. They stated they were disappointed in my loss of ONLY 15 pounds, but because I stayed in hospital longer, am constipated, started my period, have a post op infection nuns cannot walk much due to my broken leg....they will excuse it THIS time. Wtf? Really? Oh and my brother died the night before surg (not sure how that factors in)

Thanks gang

None have suggestions to sugar free non carbonated bev? Not protein drinks, done with crystal light. Need something else, seriously missing coffee & diet coke. Only 2 weeks post op so liquid last 4 weeks, just need a small variation to water

Thanks ladies, yes I miss my bro. I agree I'm screwing up their stats

Wait, wait, wait. U had sleeve right not bypass? I thought that kind of reaction was only bypassers. Oh my, thanks for warning

Ooh that sounds good, I just got clearance today for purée

Prob the week of Thanksgiving not popular. Glad u got date, there will be plenty more thanksgivings

You'll do great!

Thinking going to have to call on call MD tomorrow. Late this evening left surgical site where staples are still in place, painful, red, warm to touch. No drainage or fever , but I think something's brewing. Why couldn't it have surfaced on a weekday during clinic hours. But may wait til Monday, as the advice will likely be go to ER, and I will not. I am an administrator at the hospital and do not want to go. We'll see if we can come to some other compromise. Here I am bargaining scenarios all by myself, geez, I need to just go to sleep

Hello?

Also talk to MD as this could be diabetes, excessive thirst and night peeing is often associated with this disease. Most of time it is a more simple explanation, not quite so dramatic as diabetes. But u must notify md so u can get a proper work up

Call now b4 on all peeps take over for weekend

Natalie I have been trying to contact u but I keep getting an error message about the server. I'm ok, how r u?

Per your recommendation I am now midway through season 5, hooked. Thanks a lot helps pass the time with my new surgery recovery and broken leg

How u doing? Did u get a cold? I'm day 9 and still learning the tolerance of volume, bowel changes, gas, heightened smell awareness ( no pun intended), reading my literature over and over to help it become second nature. Off until end of November with the broken leg...thinking will be feeling premium by then and able to withstand the 12 hour shifts again. So many encouraging, knowledgeable folk so here, truly feel blessed to be apart of such a courageous group of people.

Was supposed to say different stages, not stitches, oopsy
