Thought we could all convene here after our Feb sx so we could stay in touch....

I too had a blood clot... only it was on my liver, and picked up in a CT scan 3 weeks after surgery. Had it not been for the CT scan, I'm not so sure things would have turned out quite the same. I had a lot of pain in my left side, which was causing an issue because the actual problem was on the right side. The pain did not get better with any types of medication, including morphine. I also lost weight really fast - about a pound a day. I know the symptoms are different when the clots are in the legs and arms, and liver clots are really rare, but just wanted to share my symptoms if it could help others.

Well' date=' daycare called and said there's an outbreak of stomach flu with the kids there. Guess that answers my question. Sorry everyone!

I've lost 4 lbs since yesterday morning thanks to this. [/quote']

I was just going to say sounds like norovirus (stomach flu). My kids, hubby, and i had it in Jan. No fun!

This is TMI. I'm sorry. I'm worried and wondering if anyone can offer an idea.

I'm so sick right now and not sure what's going on.

On Friday night' date=' my 3 year old daughter threw up three times in her bed, then on Sat and Sun she had loose stools. She also has a cough and runny nose.

Last night, right before bed, I had diarrhea, and since midnight last night (12 hrs ago) have had it every 30min-1hr. I didn't get any sleep last night because of this. I've gone at least 16 times but lost count. Each time it seems like a lot. I also threw up 3 times. The first time was what looked like spit or foam, and the other two times were dry heaves for several minutes.

I'm so weak and exhausted and thirsty, and my butt freaking hurts. I couldn't keep Water down during the night at all, but just now I finished a glass, which prompted a run to the bathroom again. The thought of food makes me feel sick to my stomach.

Do you think I just caught my daughter's bug, but much worse? Or could this be sleeve related?

Edit: This is the first time anything like this has happened since my surgery. My first time throwing up since then too.[/quote']

Sorry

But for the bunghole use desitin or a&d ointment it will help with the pain.

Hope you better soon

Thank you for sharing that.

Well my goal everyday is to get 80 or 90 grams of protein which makes it come off a little faster

My NSVs at this stage:

1. Only 30lbs lost and intimacy has become waaaay fantastic

2. Knees not hurting walking up stairs

3. Clothes are very baggy

4. Some smaller clothes look amazing on me again

5. Back not hurting as much when I wake up in the am

6. I can cross my legs cross cross applesauce style

7. My curves are noticeable again!

More to come I'm sure :-)

LOL Guess I'll be raiding my daughter's stash. Surgeon's office said Pepto and Immodium are fine to take, so I took both and am keeping my fingers crossed.

PhilyNurse - Did you all have it around the same time? That would be beyond horrible!

Right on! I was just thinking the other day that walking up our stairs didn't hurt the knees nearly as much anymore, too!

I just made the ricotta bake...omg it was yummy!!!!

What stage are you in? I am in Stage 2 Pureed, it is on my menu list. I just wondered it we had to puree it or if it is soft and gooey enough to go down. My guidelines say cottage cheese consistency or pureed. Can't wait to try it , it sounds great.

I am on purées too. I didn't purée this bake because it really is soft enough on its own. The ricotta is pretty soft to begin with.

Your so funny!!

Need your prayers--- at the ER to run tests. Left shoulder and rib area pain when taking deep breaths. Nothing really painful, just different. If I've learned nothing from this site, it's listen to your body....so thus I am;).
