As If Things Weren't Bad Enough, Now A Bacteria Infection. Wtf!?!?



Recommended Posts

Hello All,

To start off I just want to say thank you for those that have shown my wife love, advice and affection due to her experiecn at Memorial Hospital in Tampa, FL. I just want to say in the doctor's defense that it was not his fault, but the hospital and the nurses on shift that night. And to my wife's room mate, thank you for sharing your story in my latest post as well.

So on to the bad news. If things weren't bad enough with my wife's surgery day hell, her slower than ususal recovery, she went to her first post-op appointment today adn found out that she has a terrible bacteria infection. But wait here's the good part... Her appointment had been pushed back 3 times before today and the only reason why she got in today is becasue she called to confirm the appointment and they said she was supposed to be there by 11a and that they were going to give her til 1p to make before rescheduling.

Wow!

On top of all that the nurse practioner got fired, for reasons unknown! It's just a mad house around here in the bay area lately itsn't it? So tehy put her on anti bacteria and told her to go back to a liguid diet and not lifting our 2 yr old son in which no one exists in his little world but his mother. Which makes sense because she's at home with him all day. So imagine how hard that's going to be when Elmo's world comes on and he wants to be lifted into his high chair. I'm glad I'm going to be at work! LOL!

(Don't tell her I said that!)

Anyway, I'm two weeks out from getting my first fill and I'm dreading it because I have to go back on that dreadful diet for a few days. But I'm ready for the weight to start coming off. I'm starting to get comments at work and from my family. It feels good to see someone and the first thing they say is, "Hey looking good!" and not, "Have you gained weight?" I'm sure some of us can relate!

I'm getting the hang of thie blogging thing that I decided to share my wife and I's story on our personal blog: ourlapbandjourney.blogspot.com. Check it out, make your comments, and stay in touch. Until then, happy weight loss! LOL!

Good night,

DeShawn Johnson

Sorry to hear about all your mishaps. I hope things get better. It happens. But it's not fair who it happens too. I hope you and your wife do wonders in your journey.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
