Hi Nana, I'm so glad to hear that you are doing so well. Wow, you are lucky to get off work for so long. You will have to buy some smaller clothes when you go back to work. Enjoy the time off.

I picked some fresh greens from my garden today. Collard, mustard, spinish, turnip and some wild poke greens. This is how I cooked them. Of course you can use any kind that you like. In a gallon sized pot brown 3 or 4 pieces of bacon with 1 heaping T. of minced garlic. Add your fresh washed greens. I put in about 1 gallon or more. Push them down in the pan. Add 2 cans of fat free chicken broth, put on lid and cook until tender. They will cook way down and wont make as much as you think. I have enough to last me for a few days. They are very good warmed up. I like a little vinegar with mine.:confused1: Enjoy, Judy

So glad to hear that you are doing ok. You are through the gate now and off to a much healthier new life. Everyone says the pain gets better everyday with lots of walking and sipping. You are fortunate to have such a nice room with a view. Please keep us updated on your progress. Looking forward to hearing about everything.

I called Walgreens and self-pay the Nexium will cost $191.90. If I get a scrip. from my Dr. here, I will have to pay $40 for a month supply. There is no generic Nexium. I will get a script from Dr. Aceves to have for crossing the border and buy mine in Mexico.

I'm so sorry this happened to you. I would complain for sure. Maybe even send a little note to the local paper about your treatment. Hope you feel better soon.

Congrats. on your surgery date. I have bought some things for post-op. I have chicken and beef broth, jello, protein water(Kellogg), Chike protein mix, veg. juice, fruit juice and Eas protein shakes from Wal-Mart.

Can we drink Chike added to water starting on day 6?

I don't have a lap-top to take.

Hey ladies, how are you feeling today? I will be traveling with hubby. I am getting so excited. I can't wait to meet you both. We can visit as much as we can while we are there. Are you packed yet? Have you got your stuff ready for when you get home? I feel just like I'm nesting. lol You know when you are pregnant and you are getting ready for your new baby. Judy

Hi Trudy, Good luck with your surgery. Maybe I will get to meet you on the 30th when I have my pre-op tests.

Hello Lizzy, I am still having my surgery on Oct 1st. 30 days to go. Ya-Hoo! See you there.

Congrats. Ash, It is so good to hear about the success that is achieved with the help of the sleeve. Good for you.

Good for you Tiff. I'm really happy for you.

Great poem. Congrats. on your date. Where are you having your surgery?

Hi Dandi and congrats on your surgery. I'm sure someone will pop in here to answer you soon. From the info. that I have walking and more walking will help. Also I have heard that a heating pad is helpful. Have you tried the gasX strips that melt on your tongue? Hope you feel better soon.

Sorry to hear about your pain. I hope it eases up soon.

I'm sorry to hear that you are in pain. I hope you feel better soon.

Good Luck Janette.

Well Bob, maybe they didn't have to ask you. LOL

Good for you Tiff. I'm glad that you are well enough now to get out of the house and do some fun things.
