Back In The Hospital Again



Recommended Posts

Hey guys and gals. So I'm back in the hospital. I hadn't eaten anything for aout 9 days bc I always feel so nauseated. I was really feeling downright terrible so I went to the emergency room on Thursday Morning. I've been here since. My arms are all swollen and bruised bc they had to poke me 7 times before they could get the iv started. They said my veins were deflated due to dehydration. I still feel very nauseated. They did a really aggressive endoscopy yesterday. I hope the stricture heals and my stomach remains open. There's a lot of scar tissue. This really isn't what I signed up for and yea they do mention the risks before hand but no one told me it would be this bad. I really wish I never had this surgery. So in the meantime I'm just laying here miserable....trying to get better. I'm including a pic of my arm so you can see how its all bruised from the numerous iv pokees

I don't feel better at all. I haven't eaten in 2 weeks and even then it was just 2 spoons of yogurt. I never feel good or normal. Its hurting my family bc they feel bad that they can't do anything to help me..EXTREME BUYERS REMORSE! If one more person says hang in there I'm gonna scream. Unless they're the ones going through it they have no idea how truly horrible this is. I'm an incest survivor as well as a domestic abuse survivor and this by far is the worse I've ever felt in my life. Id give anything for a "do-over"

I'm sorry I'm just seeing your message. I was in the hospital from the 10th-18th.....they said the stricture was cleared but the ulcer wasn't. I think I need to be dialated again bc I'm vomiting again. I couldn't eat/drink anything in the hospital. My veins were too deflated for IV's so I had a triple picc line put directly in my chest. I was fed TPN through a nutrition bag like they give people that are in comas and can't feed themselves. It was pretty bad. I am once again not eat but still trying to drink enough to stay hydrated. Its a holiday weekend so I will call the surgery team on Tuesday to see if they want me to re-admit myself into the hospital........again :'(

      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.

      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!!
