My surgery was 12-3-12 @ 9am and with my complications I was in the hospital for awhile and the first 5 days I was in ICU with my face so swollen I couldnt see and the first 2 days in ICU I also still had my respirator/breathing tube in from surgery

For all you guys and girls complaining about a 10 lbs gain in the hospital yall are VERY LUCKY because of my extended surgery and complications and the amount of time at the hospital on an IV I gained 42 lbs yepp you heard that right ""42 lbs"" but now I am home its been 11 days since my surgery and I am still strictly on clear liquids and the doc said I will be on them probly for another 2-3 weeks however I'm supposed to drink 3 protien shakes a day but that's not happening I CANNOT get them down and have tried every kind you can think of so my doctor said just stick to my liquids and not get dehydrated so thats what I'm doing I have a doc appt tuesday I hope for some good news and hopefully be out of pain I know they will remove my 2nd drainage port then ... But for now it's a slow go sip sip sip walk walk walk and rest but one good thing is that this morning I have lost 56 lbs total yeah me

Omg my back pain is sooo bad right now I can't stand it

Omg my back pain is sooo bad right now I can't stand it

I don't know about sugar levels I know in the hospital they had to give me insulin so I guess I will go buy me a sugar tester in the morning and start monitoring my levels

Ok guys and girls I am having some major issues again and hope not to go back in the hospital however I cant stop shaking and am very weak but I know its because of lack of protien but my new pouch cant handle any shakes I've had they make me sick to the point of throwing up which is dangerous for me and I can't have anything other than liquids for 2-3 more weeks because of my complications gerr any suggestions ???

I am not doing ANYTHING the doc says I cant do because of my complications it could still kill me so its a slow go process I am only on clear liquids for another 2-3 weeks

I actually feel kind of good today I am hurting alittle in my stomach but mainly my stomach is itching really really bad especially around both of my drain ports which I will have until next week when I go to my doctors office

Thanks everyone for the prayers I deffinatly needed them my doctor said I wasn't out of the woods yet I'm still on very strict orders and only liquids for another 3 weeks not even protein shakes with my stomach being so fragile I can't risk it busting open again so I have broth, poweraid zero grape ((is amazing especially super cold)) & sugar free jello and popcicles and luigis italian ice no sugar added of course ..... But ill take it they finally said I could go home because I kept having very high blood pressure from stressing because not being with my boys and husband

GUESS WHAT GUYS I AM ACTUALLY HOME THEY FREED ME LOL SO TODAY I HAVE DONE NOTHING BUT SIP SIP SIP WALK WALK WALK AND CUDDLE WITH THE MOST IMPORTANT MEN IN MY LIFE MY BABY BOYS

Hey guys and girls I am getting sooo behind on the list of people who ,have, and haven't had the surgery yet would there be anyone who would be willing to take it over I'm just not able to right now I am just so worn out taking things day by day

Any maternity stores carry them

I am having a pretty rough day been in alot of pain they think I might have a small start of pneumonia and during the 7.5 hour bypass I had where they were trying to fix my complication my liver may have got knicked and might need to go in and fix... I just miss my baby boys I am on my crying fit today

I had my surgery at 9 am on December 3, 2012...,I HAD AND AM STILL HAVING MASSIVE COMPLICATIONS ((ICU 4 days and still in the hospital)) so it's not just people who don't listen to the doctors who have problems I didnt even get out of the operation room without massive issues

Ok guys and girls if you are not on my surgery on this forum please let me know a date and time so I can get you added asap please and thank you

Ok guys and girls do me a big favor and check the latest surgery list and tell me if ya'll are not on it I would really like to get that done right away especialy since I'm feeling like getting to it :-) lol
