I always hit the odds!



Recommended Posts

Well I had my follow up appointment today and I was given a perfect bill of health. Which as some of you may know is a blessing at this point. I sat and talked with my doctor about my experience over the last couple of weeks and he informed me that he has never seen a patient develope a leak the way I did at a month out. Why is it I always hit the odds when it comes to rare events? I wish the odds would fall in my favor for the lotto. LoL Anyway My leak is healed my pneumonia is gone and my lung has opened back up. I am back to myself for the most part..

Such great news!!! I wonder if it was there the whole time? Do you think something happened that made you leak so late or it just didn't heal right? I remember my first C-section I had a stable get twisted and it opened up within a few days. Could have been something like that.

The doctor thinks it was just a pin size hole that overtime turned into a bigger problem.. I had a drain tube in for a week and never had any problems with the purple koolaid showing up in the bulb. Sometimes things just happen for unexplained reasons. I am just glad that I am back on track and loosing again!!

Oh wow, so how did you know something was wrong? How far out when you had symptoms.

I am so glad you are recovering well.......why do you think your recovery is going so smooth??? Did you have surgery near you or far away? How did you get help?

So many questions.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
