  1. I am doing better no solids yet but, the pnemonia is better the meds for the blood clot are stabilizing and I'm finally out of the hospital.
  2. I would stick with lortab just smaller dose
  3. It took 5 days to get my approval through Cigna
  4. I am a week out and I have to make myself drink and eat so I would definitely check into dehydration or the acid reflux. I feel bad for you and will pray that you get your sleeve figured out. I wish it was the same for everyone. Them we could just use directions. Don't get discouraged you will succeed!!!
  5. Still no poo either but, I do get to leave the hospital today.
  6. Gas x strips!!! Sugar free throat lozenges
  7. Pnemonia cleared up on blood thinners the next 6 months but I am leaving the hospital 21lbs lighter and get to start enjoying my new life vs. being held hostage at Mercy! Yay!!!
  8. I think Tuesday was the day for issues because, I got stuck back in the hospital for blood clot and pnemonia issues. I may get out tomorrow.
  9. I got a blood clot from not walking as much as I should have and didn't blow into the stupid machine 10 times a hour now I'm back in here so listen to what they say even if you don't want to.
  10. I want to go to my reunion instead of finding a excuse not to due to me not being comfortable with my weight.
  11. Go on a cruise Be able to eat at fancy restaurant and not have to eat taco bell on the way home because, I'm starving. Wear a swimsuit without being embarrassed Shop at a store that has no plus sizes.
  12. I think it is that's why they make you blow into that stupid machine. I should have done it more.
  13. I was doing ok now I'm back in the hospital with pnemonia and a blood clot both on left side. Feeling a little junkie but, know this too shall pass. Hope you all are doing well!
  14. No leak!!! Blood clot I left arm and mild pnemonia in left lung. The pnemonia symptoms if I laid in my back it hurt to breathe. If I inhale deeply I cough.
  15. My white count is through the roof and they said that leaks mimic pneumonia symptoms. I am having a CT scan and a leak test shortly. Plus I'm having a Doppler of my left arm which is severely swollen and painful. My dr said that I would feel appending doom if leakage that severe depressing can be a symptom of a leak.
  16. I am back in here with possible leak, pneumonia, and blood clot in my left arm. I hope it's ok not looking forward to all this crap! Why can't this go smoothly???
  17. Back in hospital having a bunch of tests running a fever and feel gross!!!
  18. I'm 4 days post op and am getting an ounce a hour and I'm using that with protein shake with water. I know I'm dehydrated but can't get anymore in.
  19. I know I'm not getting in the amount of calories or fluid I just can't hold it all. How did you get it all in?
  20. They let me leave with a low grade fever. I am not really nauseous but, the few times I've been sick feeling I smelled alcohol wipes and it cured the nausua. I kept down 30 cc of tomato soup and 30cc of pudding my water intake is the worst . It's so hard to try to get it but I'm too ful.
  21. That's awesome!!! Keep us updated!!!
  22. They are letting me do full liquid diet at 30ccs a time. I am on some new meds because, I am running a fever so my dream of going home tomorrow have been derailed.
  23. I was scared too and it isn't pleasant but, not the worst pain in the world. I was allowed to have broth today a whole 1oz before I was stuffed. That gives me hope! Prayers for strength, joy, and peace. G
  24. Hiccups are bad too!!! I had one earlier that was so hard and unexpected that if I hadn't went potty I would have peed everywhere. Just walking around we pillow and relying on my 9 year old on errands
