Frustr8

probably a good 5hing you are an R.N. and understand the ramifications of it all.

A while, I am not over-endowed with saliva , I chew, I chew, I chew and after 33 chews I try sallowing and pray for the best!👅👌

When I was talking to my or rather one of nurse practioner S and dieticians it was mentioned Prilosec/ omeprasole, was not given as antiacid. but rather as an ulcer preventive. Whew Folks, this bears reassessment! When I had my Last EGD and my gastritis and gastric ulcer,was dicovered , I at that time was on this sacred cow, omeprazole, it had not prevented ulcer formation, although I had been on it continously for over 6 weeks at that time, That,Is why I was on Dexilent, a PPI that was working and oh no you removed me from. Your staff excuse? Dexilen t minicapsules don't have a pull-apart feature. Do you really think I was too dense to cut them and apply the granules to my food as you do the Big O.? Did they listen to what I was saying? Hmmn they did both get strangely silent.😞

Let us know sometime in 5he future which you😝 and your surgeon 😷 have chosen!

I try to tell myself that these rough days will be past soon. I wish there was some way of rubbing Precious Pouch when. she rears up like an angry baseball of flesh in my chest. Odd, you always have a mental image of your gastrointestinal system. much further down in your abdomen. This pain is immediately below my sternum, did my,surgeon resuspend. it. deliberatelyinto my chest? Feels like it is on top of my diaphragm, not beneath it..I know it is said surgeon's rearrange your anatomy, but to this great an extent?👈😫👉

Well Ronnysgal we will forever share a REBIRTHDAY, that was the date of,my own surgery. If I had to pick a Surgery Twim I would have chosen you, your are one spunky,lady.😷💔😝

Muscle Milk is my favorite along with Premier Protein Peaches and Creme. Love Strawberry the most of MM, Along with the Blueberry Greek Yogurt.

congratulations from me, I just knewyou would be a real success. Thank you for letting me share in your story.😝👣

hope someday my diet someday smoothness out, then I could go back to Edam. That would be such a GOUDA, day, of course.!

Avoid Flintstone-style chewable multivites- EVIL NASTY AND VILE-especially if you have to grind up like me due to dentures, told my surgeon's office Flip it All, I am going back to my prenatal solid , size of tic tac, I CAN swallow that!

Feeling ROTTEN this AM, people mention dreaded 3 week stall, NO ONE. mentioned a 14 day Flip-it-All! I feel as nasty rotten today as I should have right after surgery. The thought of EGD and balloon dilatation was mentioned yesterday, instead of marching bravely into Stage 3 I feel like I am. Being an abysmal failure at Stage 2. Liquids I concede may be draining ok, seems like cream of rice and thicker hanging up in "Precious Pouch". Doesn't give a sensation of emptying. Some poachers even say they can listen to their body letting loose with a swoosh into their jeje small intestine, amI still too swollen to feel THAT? Good news - lost 6.5 pounds in a week Bad news- I had to feel pretty crappy to do it. WTFN? Nurse Practioner was making EGD noises yesterday, is that the NEXT step on this journey? Don't want my old plumbing,back, just want this NEW ONE to WORK!

@ Cherl gut, Super Slick Mama, kudos to you , I could not do that! Having another rocky,AM, 2 weeks , and I feel as rotten as you Might have been. Don't move your location, Bathroom, I'm Coming!😧

No Problemo @ Liz C, we love Ya Baby!👍😝

Thanks Margo CL, this not biding well. Not first time for nausea, first time right when I wake up. Even my Lovenox which I routinely I have NO problem hurt a little going in. Have had to down- grade from. stage 3 to Stage 2 once again. My surgeon Bradley J Needleman MD, who,I. intently respect and value, I toyed with the idea of taping him up with duct tape and setting him on the curb outside his office at Martha Morehouse Pavillion -OSU. I'm sure I'll get down off my "high horse" as soon as it stops "bucking". And I feel like I was trying to ride that "high horse" bareback & I'm going to slide off on my rump if I don't grab. a think of its mane!🐎See,BJN last week said " she can handle Stage 3" , Precious Pouch , my egg-shaped. bypass vehicle says " I DON'T THINK SO", fearful it is going to take an EGD and balloon dilatation to settle this argument. That I AM Not Eager for! Please "Precious" settle down, I just was in Columbus Yesterday! Will try a little water in a couple minutes, barf bag at the ready! Didn't mind 2 steps forward, 1 step back until the backstep was onto,slick ice. I am Not a Columbus Blue Jacket, I have no hockey skates on. OMG I am supposed to,be,getting. better not worse! 😧💦😧

Intensity of l8fe when you least want or need it! Makes my AM nauesa seem a minor blip. praying for the grace to endure for YOU!

Hmmn Wednesday September 19th, just after 8AM, s o. my 2 week surgiversity and I am waking up nauseous. Last thing I had. was the end of a protein water drink. This bears. some study once I can lift my head off the pillow. 😰

I had my RnY surgery September 5th 2018 at Ohio State University Hospital-Wexner Medical Center in Columbus Ohio. For the rest of my life there will be 2 extra special days . December 26th- my original Birthday and September 5th! my🎁 Wonder Wedneday, My REBIRTHDAY, when everything realigned. And I will be eternally grateful to Bradley J Needleman😷 MD. who helped to make it so!

Glad it is happening for you, please keep me (and everyone else updated.

😝😝😝

for fancy added foods, I am tired and more than a little sore frothe attempting. Today while talking to Ellie123 I was urping once again. And that was from thin pureed cottage cheese.

No,Nibble the Super-Surgery- Chick,is not firing on all cylinders. Dr Needleman took me to Stage 3 at 6 days. I now do not agree with him. In the last 2 days I have kept down 6 protein shakes I premier protein , I AdvantEDGE soy 4 muscle milk 6!8 sugar free jello 5 tropical,sf,popsicles 1C low sodium V8 in 2 oz portions applesauce Musselman low sugat assorted water and no cal fluids to make Q.S. 1/4 c pureed vegetable soup Things I puked, urped or otherwise forcible up check cottage cheese both small curd and pureed greek yogurt thinned pureed flounder pureed soft roast pork 2 T scrambled egg creamed wheat thinned out to runny Do,you see a pattern ,,I am not ready

my late husband told me at the time John Hinkley, the guy that shot Ronald Reagan, and i Ilooked enough alike to be brother and sister. Probably,Hinckley is dead too.

Please update us when the surgery is over One because Hurricane Florence is scary. All the. wind, water and storms. are upsetting. But second and more important, we worry about you. You, Liz C, are,much more important to us. Although I hope they use waterproof tape just in case.

And what. a Sweet💔, wish I was in position to adopt. Folks, there are friends and cuties like her foster doggie at your local no-kill shelter. All they want is a forever family, a chance to love and be loved again!🐶 And the 😸kitties say🐺🐯🐱it's our time me-ow also! Love has 4🐾 paws.👣💌

Apricot juice, apricot puree almost,as good, tastes better. Gripes a little less.
