Best of luck to your husband Edie! He will have the best of care, from above with all the prayers & you! He has an advantage of you knowing just what to do for his care!!! Sending you hugs & prayers!

Glad to hear you are doing good! I'm doing great! I only lost 5 lbs the 1st 2 weeks & haven't weighed since so i don't get discouraged, I go back to the dr. in a week so I will weigh then to see how much I have lost in 6 weeks. Cloths are feeling loose, but not too loose to quit wearing yet. I don't even feel like I had the surgery now! I'm amazed at how easy it was for me, thank-goodness!! How about those sooners!!! not too bad!!!

Best of luck to your hubby, Edie. I actually laughed out loud over the dog and mustard thing. You kill me! That great sense of humour and attitude will carry you and your husband through this process!
And Ron- although we've never met, I have been incredibly moved by your story. Your perseverance and strength is inspiring and your wife's support and love is admirable. You are a lucky man in some ways. Each day things will get better for you and you will gain strength and you will walk and maybe even run 6 miles again. It can't be easy but for what it's worth, you have this community pulling for you.

Best of luck edie!!!!! Everything will turn out great just be positive and know there are people here for you only wanting the very best outcome for you and your husband.

Well today is the day! I am about to take my husband to the hospital!!!! He has his surgery at 11am. I am so happy for him but I think i am way more nervous for him then I was for myself. My stomach has been in knots since I woke up. Can everyone please pray for a successful and complication free surgery. We have only been married 7 months and I just don't know what I would do if anything happened to him. I have complete faith in our surgeon but for some reason my nerves are getting the best of me!

@@395Ron I cannot even begin to imagine how tired you are. But you also need to realize how strong we all think you are. A person of less fortitude who have given up long ago and yet here you are getting better each day. That makes you a role model. Don't look behind, only ahead and ahead is only better things. I am so happy for that you are home again and on the healing road.a year from now you are going to look back on this and know that it was all worth it. I personally am so glad that you are back,as I stated before our little group is just not the same without you. So keep getting stronger because we expect to keep hearing from you on a regular basis!!!
On a whole new topic, my hubby Kevin goes in for his surgery Thursday and I wish you could see what a baby thus big,strong man has been about this liquid pre op diet!!!! I am almost positive I saw him looking at our weenie dog, Gidgett, and drooling. I'm just glad there was no mustard in the house!! Lol.

@@395Ron so glad you are home again! Things only go up from here, Ron, I just know it!

@@395Ron, I'm so glad to hear that you are home. I'm happy for you! Here's to your continued recovery. I will continue to keep you and your wife and family in my prayers.

Had my 1 month post-op today. Down 30lbs! Feels amazing! How is everyone else doing?

I carry a Vitamin Water and a regular bottle of water with me all the time but the vitamin water seems to go down easier than regular water. I think thats so weird but it's true for me. Sometimes I drink tea. I think it's almost like a tolerance, the more you make your body do it the more it listens. I try to remember to take a sip every 15min. I think it's really just a learning process and a lot of trial and error. Some days you aren't going to get all the fluids in that you need and some days you will. Best of luck!

Welcome back ron

@chelleb33 I have flavored water and I try to carry it with me every where. It feels like I'm constantly drinking. I have Water next to my bed and drink in the middle of the night when I get up to the bathroom. Most times it's hard to get in the fluids, but I try. It's also hard for me to get in the Protein as well. I drink a cinnamon roll Protein Shake which gives me 30 grams of protein first thing in the morning. Rest of the day is a struggle to get in the rest. I try to eat foods high in protein, but that isn't always the case. I hope you start to feeling better.

@CHELLEB33 Some days I barely get 12 oz of Water in. Others I get 50..it just depends. Just hang in there. I just wanted to check on you as I know you are having a unusually hard time. If you have any questions just ask. I will do my best to help and if I don't have the answers I know one of these amazing guys or girls will!!

I'm feeling much better. I was released yesterday evening from the hospital. They felt I was doing pretty good so they removed the picc line. Right now just trying to stay hydrated it's so hard for me to get all my fluids in. How do you guys do it?

Home once again.
I really am tired of all this stuff. My emotional piggy bank is drained and I hope to get a chance to refill it reading your guys posts.
I had a blood clot in my right lung. I was in so much pain it took 6 shots of their strongest medication to get it under control.
I have to say this has not been a fun journey so far.
I am walking on a walker where just a month ago I was walking 6 miles. It is a struggle to get up the 7 steps in our house. I have to sit in a chair when using the shower because I am unsteady on my feet and can't stand that long.
It is time to begin recovery but I am so scared of the next foot dropping. I am going to end this post because it feels more like a pitty party. I need time to recharge my batteries.
My wife has been my rock. She has had to go through so much during this time.
Thank you all for being here and keeping me in your hearts.

@@395Ron Glad to hear you are home and on the road to recovery. I'm sorry you had to go through all of this and will continue to pray for a speedy recovery for you and your wife. You got this!
