going out to eat for the first time this weekend



Recommended Posts

So... long story but. My son is coming into town for my wife's brain surgery on the 11th. Our plan is to take them to a local pizza place to eat after we pick them up from the airport. (its really cool, good, and on the harbor here in SD).

So far, I have eaten all the components of the topping of pizza, I.E. cheese, marinara sauce, Tomato, etc...

Thoughts on just scraping the top off a piece and eating it so they dont feel self conscious about eating ifo me?

BTW, her tumor is beingn, it it just big and needs to come out. Prognosis is 100% recovery and only 2 days in the hospital

No advice as I am only 1 week post op, but I'm so glad to hear that your wife's prognosis is excellent and wish her a speedy recovery.

Thanks. Trying to be positive. The only real issue is that we wont know anythign about any long lasting effect or disability until after the surgery and the swelling goes down.

Feel better. Miso Soup broth saved me in the first week.

Many pizza places offer Pasta. Could you get that instead?

I haven't tried pizza yet. I'm hesitant to try new foods away from home in case I get sick.

I've done just that! Scraped off the toppings and eaten them but left the crust. Had grilled chicken with lots of veggies on the pizza instead of sausage or pepperoni. You can also get Canadian bacon. Some places will actually let you order a crustless pizza.

How did it go with the pizza? I think just eating the toppings was a great idea however you should worry about how other people make you feel too. It's great you try & make people comfortable but you should feel comfortable as well.

How's your wife doing? I had a brain tumor removed in 2008 it took about 2 months for me to get to feeling like myself. I wish I had the support it sounds like your wife has during her process.

The pizza went well. I have been having issues with vomiting randomly... one thing is okay one day, then not the next.

She is doing okay. Was in the ICU for 5 days, then home for 2 weeks. She has gone back to work, but is still having some issues with memory, vision, and stamina. Seems to be gettign better slowly. She is an MBA and has a fairly rough job (demanding) so she withers on the vine in the afternoons.

      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!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
