Guest guest Posted July 9, 2001 Report Share Posted July 9, 2001 Thank you. Ice cream is nice, but I want to know if I'll be able to drink beer! -Byron > Re: To Teri > > > Hey Byron, > Good luck with the tonsillectomy.

Guest guest Posted July 10, 2001 Report Share Posted July 10, 2001 Hi Byron, sorry to just be getting back to you, but I have been at home recovering from gallbladder removal surgery (last Thursday the 5th), and don't have a working computer at home. The level of suck was pretty high, but mind you I combined a tonsillectomy with a sinus surgery, so I couldn't breathe at all. I had to breathe through my mouth the whole time, which dried out my throat, which made swallowing a complete and total hell for about a week. I could only eat popsicles. I couldn't even handle swallowing ice cream, that really hurt. I don't remember eating again for about a week, it was 5 years ago though so I'm a bit foggy. Just ice water and popsicles. And I couldn't sleep at all, because you have to swallow at some point during sleep, which caused the severe pain to wake me back up. It was just an awful experience. I was off work for 2 1/2 weeks. I just layed around and watched TV the whole time (boy does daytime TV suck). I didn't really have the energy to get going again, but it could have been the double surgery crap. Or I was lazy LOL Anyway, mountain biking shouldn't be too bad after a week or so, given you can swallow enough water to keep hydrated and keep your mouth from drying out. Let us know how it goes. Oh, by the way, GALLBLADDER surgery SUCKS bigtime! No one told me it would hurt so much afterward. They made it sound like it wasn't a big deal, since it was day surgery. Bite my butt, I've been in pain for 5 days now. This is my first day back at work and I'm not very happy about it. Teri > This is my final week with my tonsils.

Guest guest Posted July 10, 2001 Report Share Posted July 10, 2001 One last dumb question. Rumor is that there will be a significant weight lose (10-15lbs). Any truth? -Byron -----Original Message-----From: mtnbikelady1973@...

Guest guest Posted July 10, 2001 Report Share Posted July 10, 2001 I don't think I lost that much, maybe 5 pounds. Probably cause I was sitting on my butt the whole time. I've already lost 6 lbs. in the last 5 days from the GB surgery, because my stomach hates everything except toast and malt-o-meal. Wanna lose weight, try the GB surgery LOL Teri > > This is my final week with my tonsils.
