I walk around the third floor about once an hour but it's about 50 steps to get off the floor and I don't have the stregnth. one of the cheif complaintts of internal bleeding is lack of sregnth.

My whole story is in the stories section, (called someting like the story you don t want to read but should). Basicallly I had a COMMON complicatiion of internal bleeding. My life not consists of living in druggy lala land or having spasams all day. And just to add grins to giggles....I havent lost any weight at all. I butchered myself and and now debilitated, and still over weight. I am a very strong person....I cry a lot!

I would have six hundred c sections before i'd do this again. I was laid up 4 days on the c, i am still on full bedrest after 21 days from vsg.

I'm so glad to read that you are doing better Kimberlee. I guess you win the get better contest But in all seriousness, I hope the rest of the bumps in the way smooth out for you soon so you can get onto your skinny new life.

you are all doing so amazing. Keep up the good work and wait to buy those costumes...you/re going to need smaller sizes

I guess ill see if i get to play later in the month. The medications im on for pain and spasming cause both weight gain and loss. I differ by five or ten lbs one way each morning (it's not the scale lol} so ill not post until I'm off them....god knows when that will be.

I spoke with kaiser in seattle. it took hem three weeks to return the initial email in which she suggested I gain 40 pounds before calling back. She did not respond to any additional emails demonstratingg i met the self pay qualifications. i considered complaining but got busy. At a coctail party in seattle we ran into a member of the board.. I shared my experience with her. She was horrified. I received a call the next weekday offering to fast pace me through the program and elected not to do so. I have a short tollerance for lazy and if that is how their intake staff are...gad can you imagine the rest of them. One should never have to speak to a board member about an issue just to get a call back. Hopefully the kaiser you are dealing with is more on the ball.

I have been purreeing my son's food for almost seven years now. literaly everything you can eat you can puree. the only real callenges are high bread based items. they turn gummy in the blender just as they do in our stomach. For my son, i make some favorites like cambels bean with bacon Soup. To enhance texture and vegis I do it 50 non diluted soup, about 30 percent pureed carrots and 20 percent ground ham. To ground ham appropriately you can add eiter sugar free syrup or the Water from the carrots. I add water (and for him syrup because i need to enhance calories signiicantly) to whatever texture im shooting for, which for him is aboiut mashed potatoes. Warm each item first. It will gound in a food processer easier (i prefer that a blender) Beef with aujus and potatoes woks well too. He loves that. bananas with vanilla yoghurt. i have blended whole pies...just add suga free yogurt.

people say c section is the easy way out. these "people" are always men or women who chose "natural birth" (usually in a wading pool in their basement but i wont go there". im three weeks out tomorrow and still too weak to leave my bed. ya this is super easy!

that is called loan fraud and no doctor worth his salt would sign that document. this is why the mexico thing bugs me. there is zero question here, loan fraud clear and simple. domt deal with this butcher.

despite my little disaster, it is nice to read that most of the august sleevers have been doing ok

you can read the full version in the stories section (its called the story you dontmwant to read but should) but basically i hav a 1 in 400 complication for any surgery, internal bleeding. it causes severe spasms which can only be controlled with muscle relaxants, which you cant take because your blood pressure tanks and it puts you in danger of heart failure. until the blood is worked out of my body i am in pain and very weak. i thought the cat scan would have good news yesterday but it isnt disipating as fast as we hopped. i may be stuck in bed several more weeks.

going on day 20of forced bedrest. they are pretty certwin i wont die now though. the drugs cause weight gain. i cant believe i did this to my body. my son nearly lost hia mommy all for vanity. i feel a colosul fool surgery 23rd

suz, i have a strong affinity for live people. dead people are debbie downers imo. so when i see some one posting a question which could present a serious issue in the near future for a poster i respond with an appropriate level of urgency to the situation. note that idid not agree or disagree this could be hemoroids as she wished us to say. nor did i mention her tom because the absence of that in her first post lead me to believe that was not an issue. i in fact offered no possible diagnosis because she is not my patient and i am not her doctor. people offer up possible diagnoses to posts of this nature are in fact not living at the top of the mental food chain. that helpful chitter chat could lead to some ones death. im not going to shy away from a post like this because if one out of five people posting this type of thing goes "oh geeze i should go to the er". than ive done the right thing. DO NOT insult my medical condition. the valium makes it difficult to see my key board clearly so i often miss spaces or hit the wrong letter. it does not make me mean if you aretrying to say that. not funny and definately worth an apology.

this is a classic case of why people "rant" elsewhere. ok no blood now so ill just wait til it happens again. seriously folks, when blood flows from areas of your body it does not normlly flow from. see your doctor tht day! if that was said with too much passion....i dont care. i used to be a volunteer firefighter emt. i prefer live people to dead ones so i take this seriously. when blood is involved, waiting for more is not terribly bright.

well that will be good for your legs and arms, but you might want to just have a consult with a professional body/builder, trainer to ensure you are working on the areas most at risk for you. ill be doing the same if im ever allower to leave this damn bed lol

thank ypu cherry. i re read that post and while it was riddled with typos (thank you valium) i did mean to impart a strong sense of urgency. this could be a life and deAth thing. a bunch of idiots guessing could lead tothe womans death

there are some questions that should ne se. sasked or answered on theinternet. when blood flows unexpectantly Go to the doctor now!

tired of it all honey? i sort of hit a,wall day 16 that im having trouble getting over.

people with less that 100lbs tp lose in generql tend to have less issues with skin as others do. but there are some factors, such as how lomg youve carried the weight, do you exercise, etc. for those of us who exercise we have the best chance of having zero to no lose akin issues.

id get some blood work done and check your Iron level. miscarriages are natoriously hard on them. yes eat better and keep potassium and iron in mind, but iron is going to likely need to be suplimented to bring you back up. this,wis have an amazing effect on your energy levels. btw, my one way of dealing with the loss of all my babies is to get very clinical talking about the situation so if i didnt say it, please understand i am sorry for your loss!
