Guest guest Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 Hello all, I am 5 weeks post op with an open thoracic heller and pyloroplasty complicated by aspiration pneumonia and a mycobaterium lung infection. Eating is going very well. Have not met anything yet I can't eat some of with comfort. I am still not eating as much as I should and that is a bit of a struggle. The dietician came to see me this morning and is not happy I have lost 10 lbs. My whole life I get crap for needing to lose weight and now I am given grief for being too thin. I know this will pass as time goes on. My biggest problem is still regaining energy and stamina. It is improving soooo slowly. Everyone tells me that is the remnants of the lung infections and I was very sick going into surgery. Overall, no regrets, the outcome is well worth the few weeks of discomfort just now and I expect things to just continue to improve. Good luck to all struggling with this at whatever stage you are at. Liz Southern Ontario Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
