Guest guest Posted September 3, 2001 Report Share Posted September 3, 2001 a I would like to see a section to give to my PCP with very clear directions for follow up care, how to reach DR R, how often to see your PCP, when and what blood work, endoscopy ect. Post Op Manual Hi All, Have I received everyone's input on what you want in the PostOp Manual? If so, I will start putting your suggestions together and posting them to the list here for adds and deletions, changes or whatever as the next step. For those of you who may not know. I am in the process of gathering suggestions on a new PostOp Manual. Dr. R has given is ok and he will also be helping with putting together the medical side of the information. I am asking everyone to give their ideas on what they want to see in the manual at this time. aW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 3, 2001 Report Share Posted September 3, 2001 Hi, I too think it should be more clear on our follow up with our own doctors. I know when I first went to mine. He asked me what do I need to check. I said I know we have to check blood and see if we lack vitamins. Once he said there is nothing to check for vitamins. \ We need to know --- what are the blood tests and what else he checks for-- on a regular basis. At the begining, I went every month, and then every two months, I know after a year there is a whole list of blood work we need checked, but before in the begining we need things more clear-- We need to know how much fluids we need to take daily-- not just sip all day long. What amount do we need -- and after we stay on liquids for two months or more, it is very hard to start to eat, for a long time I could only takes a few bites, and not anything more for the longest time. You should have it written, it is normal, that most of us feel like we do not want to eat or can not eat more than a bite at first, but that we should try every couple of hours to take something. Not to drink when we eat, until an hour after, and half hour before. That is very important, didn't really know that for a while .

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2001 Report Share Posted September 10, 2001 yeah, verily Post Op Manual Ok, all.. I'm going to start compiling the info for the manual based on your suggestions. Can you all access the website ok? I was wondring if I could use that as a way of giving everyone access to the information without using this list. We get so mu ch email as it is and really this is separate. What do you all think? Do you want to hash it out on this list or would you prefer the info be accessed thru the website instead? aW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 15, 2002 Report Share Posted April 15, 2002 a, Could you include ideas for the second stage diet. ie bananas, grits, applesauce, pasta, rice, popsicles, yogurt, corned beef hash, viena sausages, potates, etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 16, 2002 Report Share Posted April 16, 2002 a, sounds marvelous. I'm a nurse and I had to dig in my brain to figure out things to eat. I even forgot about popsicles. I could eat my weight in them now. I'll email you any that I can think of. Be glad to help out anyway that I can. VAlerie Dunlap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 16, 2002 Report Share Posted April 16, 2002 Ok I think it might be good to put down all three stages. Liquids to semi solids to solids and also some of your ideas about what you could eat before and can't eat now and visa versa. How's that sound? aW Re: Post Op Manual a, Could you include ideas for the second stage diet. ie bananas, grits, applesauce, pasta, rice, popsicles, yogurt, corned beef hash, viena sausages, potates, etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I am very interested in the post-op patient manual.
