At my most 75lbs. Gained some back. Trying to get it off again.

I was Dr. Cavazos. Want to be buddies? It is the best thing I have ever done.

I'm not in Houston. I'm in San Antonio. Want to be buddies? I am three years post op.

Here is some advice for the days you are in the hospital and for when you get home. First, find some slip on sneakers. I have a pair of Sketchers. You are going to want something besides socks or house shoes to walk around the hospital. The night before, while you are doing your clean out: Wash your hair - you won't do it in the hospital and the first couple of days home you won't feel like it Shave your legs and anything else that you shave For the hospital: You won't get to wear clothes until you are leaving Bring something with a loose waist Bring your toothpaste and brush - trust me you will need it Bring chapstick - big must have After surgery; The staff will put you on the scale. DON"T LOOK! The doctor will be pumping you with fluids. I must have weighed 10lbs more the days asfter surgery. When you get your presciption, if you get liquid pain meds, get them flavored. As the pharmacist what flavor is best. Just me on this. If yo can make the first two weeks, it is down hill from there.

Try Total Lean from GNC (ready to drink). The vanilla taste like a melted shake from Mc Donalds. Are you eating/drinking broth?

Take it easy! 176 calories is not bad for the first week. Try some of the ready to drink iso pure. I like the apple melon.

LOL! I started taking one stool softner every day with my meds. The day i left the hospital, the radiology tech gave me some contrast so they could see if everything was ok. After I finnished drinking it, she tells me that to could cause loose poo. Great! Now I had the feeling that I had to go and I had not had anything soild in 4 days!

My jerk of a husband just asked me if i wanted to go to the store and get candy! Men sometimes suck! If anyone wants to trade numbers, let me know. That way we can encourage each other during the day.

I have gotten off track. I don't have alot of support at home. My husband can eat anything and brings home everything. He does not understand. It has been almost three years and I gain some back. I could really use some support. Anyone out there?
