  8. Do you think maybe that your really just feeling like your always eating it may not be as much as your thinking? Because it takes so long to eat. I have a friend two years out says eat something ever two hours with the drinking rules its like I'm always eating but guess what the calories and amounts are small under 600 usually under 400. Maybe its really not as much as your thinking? If i m wrong I'm sorry but I hope you get it figured out my friend keeps telling me to be patient!
  9. Nervous yes my insurance does not cover baratrics. I have a apt on april 19 with my primary we will see if she's willing to follow me.
  10. I used alvarez I am so new to be objective I will tell you they picked up on one of my medical issues I've been dealing with for 12 years and were able to tell me why need less to say I am greatful. I can't say I enjoyed my surgery because I was so ready to come home and it was rough but I did feel the experience was decent and they were responsive to any need I had
  11. My protein intake is low to I will just have to work on it when I can start shakes I did mix a little unflavored powder in jello.
  12. Walk the stage its such an accomplishment congratulations
  13. Im in room 205 come see me today
  14. I have been in and out all day resting and groggy. Had about five different meds put in iv two pain kinds, one for nausea ect. the nurses mostly speak spanish and know a few works but jessica and jesus are english one works day/ one nights. the hosptial is dated but sufficent and i am comfortable. The iv was quick, the sleep dr had me comfortable before i left the room and i remember nothing until waking up in my room in a bit of pain since then they have given me somthing every 3-4 hours. I used a bed pain at first then was able to get to the bathroom on my own. Dr alvarez did call my husband after surgery to let him know i was ok, i was to tired to make a call.I have been awake all night but they said they prefer that first night to be like that so we can tell them how we are feeling. tommorrow they will give me sleep meds. I am very please so far, bored. There are some english channels on the tv. I havent walk much yet this will be my focus today I havent had a lot of gas though. I will get ice chios today and have only water to wash my mouth out with and spit. I think im on iv bag 3 or 4 for fluids and I do not feel really hungry. Im excited about the ice chips though. Dr rosales dr alvarez assistant did come in and check on me as well as alvarez. I guess they came after surgery but I was out of it. The nurses take vitals every few hours. Other then that the free internet was easy to use and the holiday inn express was clean. Rosie is very down to earth and had a nice drive with her and everyone else is very approachable and helpful if you need it. I will be walking today as much a s possible. I just got fluid bag four...so far I am very good and I will share the rest of the story later when i get home. I hope everyone is doing well...So happy to be on the post side! Take Care
