Guest guest Posted August 7, 2003 Report Share Posted August 7, 2003 I went in yesterday for my one week (10 days actually) post op appt. I was down 12 lbs already which is awesome. Dr. K took out the drains and yes, I screamed like a psycho and had the gown over my head the whole time. It feels like someone is pulling your intestines out....and the pain is huge and it then it subsides greatly over the next few minutes to nothing. Dr. K said I am doing " very well " and I will keep the feeding tube in me (again as a precautionary measure) until I go back in 3 weeks for my one month follow up visit. He said even with my good energy level to expect ebbs and tides and that it will change from day to day. After making the haul from my house to his office (3 hours each way) yesterday I fell asleep about 7pm last nite and woke up at 2 am. Downed some water and went back to sleep til 630 this morning. I feel pretty low energy today ....trying to down some scrambled eggs and cheese and after a couple of bites I had a huge wave of nausea, had to run to the bathroom for a quick bm and now that icky feeling has just passed. This is all very interesting, and the feeling of fullness....as I am getting into the swing of things. I am excited, I am hopeful that the DS is going to do it for me and I am happy. ) Marcella Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 > One week out and already I can get into these.......WOW!!! > I am in shock!!! > > > Cindee CINdee, control yourself. I bought a bunch of stuff in ten and now I am six. I can and do still wear the eights, but think of the waste. I have two brand new suits in size ten. I think I can wear them since they are skirts, but if I can't, it is a shame. Marta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 LOL, it is so hard not to buy it ALL! But since I went thrift store shoopping I was able to get several thousand dollars worth of clothes for just over $150 and it feels so good!!! Goodwill has dressing rooms so I was able to try them on before I bought them, and since I didn't spend thousands on new clothes, parting woth them soon won't be so hard! I found 4 pair of New York brand jeans ands I am thrilled!, Lee Riders, Levi's, ands NY Jeans and I am happy! PLUS I was able to find them all in 6 and 8's both!!! I bought 5 new nice cotton nighties and then came home and tossed out the old 3X cotton housedresses I have had for years! FELT SO GOOD!!!! I found 5 black skirts in all lengths, leather, wool, as well as slinly! AND THEY WERE ON THE 50 cent rack! These are Hillard and Hanson and other quality brands! Hell, at those prices (not to mention my 2 book a day addiction), me and thrift stores are gonna be good friends! I can't wait to see you woman! LOL, now I know what to do with any size 6 I pick up that happens to be too short.....send them to Marta! I am thrilled at where I am today, I am totally amazed at the improvement in my health, attitude, and well-being, physically, emotionally, as well as spiritually. I am blessed to be surroundeed with positive thinkers, and prayer warriors, and I thank God evey day for where he has led me so far! Hugs!!!
