Saturday my hubby took me to Breakfast at a market we work at every Saturday. We are vendors there and so once a year we get a free breakfast. I ordered bacon and pancakes. He ordered a breakfast burrito. As my hubby got up to get coffee and tea out food was being set before me.
the lady who delivered it said this is a lot of food for such a little thing like yourself. she then smiled and walked away. I stared in disbelief because I still see myself most times as fat. oops. when my hubby came over I told him what she said and he smiled and said you are tiny. I looked at him and then stared at the woman who had said it. Then it dawned on me that I recognized her from somewhere but could not put my finger on it....Then I broke down crying. It just happened. I remembered her. she was one of my favorite nurses who looked after me when I finally came home from the hospital.
I called her over and asked if she remembered me and was she still a nurse. She said no she did not know me and yes she worked part time as a nurse. I told her who I was and of course it was not hard to place me as I was the only patient who had a category 5 bed sore. She stood there and clasp her hand over her mouth and said OMG I would have never known it was you. I told her how much I liked her and how much I appreciated her honesty with my health and that she meant a lot to me. She came over and hugged me hard and thanked me for the compliment. I turned to my hubby and repeated what she said and she said yup. It's true I did say that. We laughed and she asked me to remind her husband that she was a gem....We laughed and she went back to work serving.
After breakfast I got up to get my coat on and a lady behind me asked me how I was doing. I said fine. Do we know each other? She said you don't know me then? I said no. She said I worked at the drug store but no longer do. I have been wondering how you are doing. You were so sick. We thought you were not going to make it. I said me either and I laughed. She told me I looked amazing and so healthy and she was so pleased to see that. I thanked her for remembering me and for the kind words. My day was wonderful yesterday. All this hard work and trouble has been so worth it.
I face surgery ( repair work on my butt from the bed sore ) on Thursday and no longer feel bad or fearful. I am going forward not backward and these people helped me see that....
Sorry for being long winded but it was an amazing feeling for people to say such lovely things.....

Glad you got some relief. I've been there myself. Did not want to have to call about that so I tried tuffing it out but that was a big mistake. It will happen again most likely until your able to add enough Fiber in your diet. I still go a whole week before going to the bathroom. I'm 13 months out now. I would definetley keep some suppositories on hand. And the miralax too to soften. Good luck with your journey.

I've been getting them for several months as well and have not been billed for anything. I saw my surgeon for my 1 year checkup and he was amazed at how much weight I've lost and how well I'm doing. He said he would definetly sign a renewal for me to continue getting the shakes and all. From what I understand when your 6 months is up or about a month before call insure nutrition and let them know you would like to continue getting your product and they will send a renewal script to your doctor and keep it going as long as your insurance approves.i called them and talked to them about it. I personally like the shakes now, I could not drink any of them when I was early out, but your taste do change and what you can tolerate will. Change over time. I try to do at least 1 shake a day to add to what I eat.
