Well on good note my test didn't show any active bleeding t time of test but still don't know where the blood in my stomach came from so they have given me 5 different bags of blood at least my dr comes in 2 times a day to check on. Me and my cardiac dr to but no ideA when I can go home and there still keeping me in ICU my dr said he wants to be very careful so I don't get any blood clots cause they had to stop my Coumadin and Levinix cause not sure why and where the bleeding came from

I'm sorry you are in there' date='keep praying....I am praying too.

I don't know if you were joking about being excited, one thing though.....if you put your food on a smaller dish, it will look more appealing. I am using little sauce bowls and tiny tea saucers.

Take it easy.....I know it is hard.....I've got a hubby, kids, and a home to take care of and am going crazy with pain from overdoing it.....got reprimanded and hubby is taking over a lot. Take care of you...

Mat how are you see your still having problems also just take it easy So sorry about your dad hope he's feeling better

Katt Also sorry for my typing I'm doing this left handed

Slept at home last night and it went pretty well. Took pain meds around 8pm, watched some TV in bed and went to sleep around 9pm. Up at midnight, but sipped on water for an hour before another does of pain meds and now up at 6am, time for another dose, but I just sipped a glass of water first. Don't feel horrible, but y legs muscles are tightening. I think it is because I don't have a convenient place to roll out of bed and walk. Going on a walk later though. Gained about 8 pounds in the hospital so I'm hoping to be on the losers bench soon

For those having some issues, I am praying you feel better ASAP! I consider myself lucky so to the others that have been relatively complication free, lets be thankful!

Congrats to everyone!

I'm home!! Doing really well! Sipping sipping and walking. I'll be on a week of clear liquids then ill move to full liquids. Other then the left side pain and my crazy loopyness from the meds I'm feeling great!

Hurrah! Welcome home!

It's a tough balancing act. On the one hand, they want to thin your blod so you don't get clots, but on the other hand, if they thin your blood you are at risk not clotting where your new incisions are, and bleeding... I'm sending positive thoughts to you and to your team of doctors!

Wow! I'm still on purees for the next four weeks. I tried (allowed) scrambled eggs yesterday and chewed them until they were so mushy I could swish them between my teeth... and still threw it all up.

Isn't it interesting how different doctors take things at different speeds? I would kill for a bite of chicken right now that didn't come out of a baby food jar! LOL!

I refuse REFUSE to eat baby food....god gave me teeth for a reason!!! I'm just squishing up or blending stuff or eating naturally squishy stuff. To have a real bite of real food would be awesome!!!! Only 20 more days til I get to add ground stuff and toast!!! I would kill for peanut butter toast!!!!

The day I had terrible nausea, the doctor figured it was because I hadn't had a BM in six days. Took some Milk of Magnesia, it worked, and no nausea since. I don't know if that applies to you, but for what it's worth...

I hope you feel better soon!

Ok' date=' so the pain has subsided i am more comfortable with myself, but I HATE PROTEIN SHAKES! I feel unreasonably weak when I don't have my protein but the taste is unbearable and I've tried so many different ones and nothing works! I have yet to throw up, but I started having bowl movements on Monday and again today,*claps hands* I am now down to 217lbs from 238 pre-op
