Thank you @@2Bthin4me

Update. I'm back in the hospital for more testing. White blood count and pulse is very high. Surgeon wants to rule out pulmonary embolism. Would appreciate lots of prayer

Hi all, I've been quiet these past 15 days from bypass, concentrating on healing and getting required Protein and Water has become my new full time job! I still have my JP Drain in but hoping it will be removed this Thursday at my post-op appointment. I do feel weak on some days and others days I feel fine. I did call NUT and asked to up my B12 from 500 to 1000 per day and that seemed to help a little. Will be interested to see how blood work will look like. As for diet, still on full liquids until July 4, then purée. My body signals me I'm full with nausea feeling...umm not good signal. Stats so far are... HW: 288 SW: 265 CW: 253 = 27 lbs lost from HW and 12lbs lost since SW on 6/9/14. Praying for you all and thinking of you daily. Kelly From Virginia.

I am finally home from the hospital. I have a drain plug to care for but I'm home. Able to tolerate cottage cheese and yogurt, but not ice cold water. Weird what is so different in taste and textures. Just taking it one day at a time.

Well I'm still in the hospital since initial surgery on Monday. My abdomen hurts and lower back pain excruciating pain. But doc gonna keep me one more day but up my meal to phase 2 - full liquids. I want to go home so badly.

Ginger snaps Glad to hear you're home and doing well. I'm still in the hospital. See post/op forum for reasons why I am still here. Now to drinking our liquids and protein begin!!!

Thanks lovesmeskinny. Feeling a little tired but so glad my surgeon listened to her gut!!!

I had surgery on Monday was having lots of pain especially in the back. Thought I was going home today when surgeon told me she was rolling me back to OR bc white blood count and heart rate too high. Sure enough they found 600 ml of dried blood. Now I have a drain and hope to go tomorrow.

At the hospital waiting to be called back. No turning back now. Not even thinking about it!!!

Ginger Snaps Will be praying for you up to the point I go under! As soon as I an coherent I will post my post-op.

My BP is tomorrow, June 9 at 12:00 noon. So excited and nervous at the same time. The rest if my life is about to change forever. If you remember please pray for me and the doctor at noon. My name is Kelly. Thank you so much.

Do you remember how much you paid for it.

Thank you for the encouragement.

@annamaie and @@gingersnap Me too! I'm June 9th as well and had a mini panic attack last night--thinking too much about the possible complications, but then I read Annamarie's post today and felt reassured. I told my family I don't care how much I whine and complain get me walking on the hour every hour, even if you both have to hold each arm!!!
