Hey guys I know it's been awhile sorry... I have been really sick in and out of the hospital plus I have my surgery in the morning I am having a feeding tube put in along with my picc line that I have had for awhile please say a prayer for me

Ok guys it's back to the hospital for me I'm still so sick and weak and very pale I have become very dehydrated and anemic again even though I am on my TPN fluids through my PICC line 12 hrs a day

Not having such a great day I know I am getting all my vitamins and nutrients throught my bag of stuff I have to be on 12 hrs at a time through my at home PICC line but I just have been really nausious and in pain thank god for my husband who keeps trying to convince me I did the right thing for me and my boys who thinks there huggs and kisses are a cure for anything boy I wish they were

So I am 4 weeks and 3 days post op and most of yall know I have had one hell of a time if its not been one thing its been another... I have had my PICC line in since monday and I have to give myself my vitamins and nutrients through my bag liquids in that line it runs 12hrs at a time...today is the first day I am actually feeling ok I even was able to keep down a few bites of chef boyardee spaghetti and meatballs I was so happy however still can't keep any liquids down at all but my doc said my bag fluids will keep me hydrated so not to worry to much

Hey guys sorry it's been so long I've just been really sick.... I'm still in the hospital today this makes the 5th day however today they have put in a PICC LINE

So guys I am on my way back to the emergency room again I hope I can get this figured out I fill like crap I wonder if I will ever fill good I think I made a big mistake

Crystal light lemonade flavor packs, powerade zero grape flavored, luigis ice no sugar added itilian ice cups, and sugar free popcicles

Where do you buy theses drink mixes??

Hey guys I'm out of the hospital now... I had SEVER dehydration and stomach and back spasms so they did a ct scan with contrast and everything looks good no leaks or blockages so they are just saying it was my muscles so I'm on a muscle relaxer and was on iv liquids and morphine which didnt even touch my pain

Ok guys I'm back in the hospital in the emergency room don't know whats going on will let yall know asap

Ok, ill have to try it... can you get it at GNC???

ill have to keep that in mind because I can't do the unjury thick flavored shakes or any other brand I cant really do think anything so if I add the unflavored to water and crystal light is it thick??

Yeah I hear you my pouch cant do ANY of the protien shakes I have tried even the unjury so good luck because I am having the hardest time with my protien however I am getting my fluids in lol

My surgeon gave me the OK for egg drop soup because of the protein so don't stress it lol

Yeah that was due to my extra time in the operating room it went from a 1.5 hr surgery to a 7.5 hr surgery because of my complication and also I was in ICU which was $4500.00 a day then a regular room for $1300.00 a day so in all I stayed 8 days plus everything else yeah its really expensive

My surgery was Dec 3, 2012 & I just got my bill statement today and my total bill was $98,019.49 yeah it sucks thank god for insurance

Omg I'm soooo excited I had to get a new jacket today instead of a size 24-26 I am now sporting a size 18-20 & not to mention none of my blue jeans fit me anymore lol
