So I'm about 7 weeks out and the week of xmas I was back to the hospital for lots of nausesa and pain. I wasn't eating due to that so they hooked my iv bag to a tmp bag which is liquid food/vitamins but I'm 100% better and need to get back to work soon and want to start eating real food again my labs everything is back to normal...it's been about 2 weeks and I feel like they are dragging it! My surgeon is on vacation so nobody wants to take me off this but it's making me depressed and go crazy!! So I refused the delivery of new supplies what would

You do?? There has to be someone else who can see me and move on from this...

I am a nurse , and I could tell you as a patient you always have the right to refuse. I should also caution you that your nutrition is nothing to mess with, I too think they may be dragging this out due to holidays, but the stomach is very delicate, and you should follow your doctor's advice or you could literally end up nauseous and sick again. Whatever you do, be very careful to listen to your body, and log everything. Wishing you the best.
