Pissed off and scared

What ARE these people doing? Anti-histamines, because you have a full-on allergic reaction to a medicine? WTF?!! I'd be getting out of that hole as soon as possible.

While I was at Jerusalem hospital I looked at each IV bottle and read what was in it. I looked at each additional bag of antibiotic that was hung and each one had my name on it and what was in it. Any time a nurse came into my room with a syringe I asked what it was and I looked at it and it always had my name on it and the medication on it.

oh believe me, i asked and they feigned that they did not understand and finally told me "to make you better". common sense i have but i was feeling so crappy and that was the beginning of my 15 month as of oct 2013 of ongoing complications. plus i have my bsn,phn. normally - no way would i let someone give me rx without knowing but my circumstances may have been different then others. that being said, oh, we did not have post op iv fluids.none- and still with j tube and l reiterate - bring your own meds, etc to JC in tj. not a bad place. just you need to know some info prior to choosing it. :)

I am fine now. The new antibiotics that I had to demand to have were just fine. it happens-no long term issue and it's over. My advice in regards to my IV bag being wrong and nothing else, for ANYONE going to ANY hospital is to ask what meds you are going to given and make sure they are given to you. I honestly DO NOT think that I was given the appropriate antibiotics while in the hospital. Again I am fine now, so far so good anyway. I realize that his can happen in NAY hospital in the world not just Mexico! Doing 'your homework' and researching Dr's and hospitals is great but you can never foresee an error from anyone at anytime! I have no hard feelings, I just wish it didn't happen. Enough said. Now if I could just get all this Protein in my belly:)

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
