Goofyspice needs your prayers and well wishes



Recommended Posts

I will try to keep this short but I need your well wishes and prayers.

I went to my follow up appointment and complained of pain and not being able to breathe. Surgeon wanted me to come back next day for ct scan but i asked to be able to go to the hospital down the street for that (versus another 2.5 hr drive). So I go in first thing Friday and... well here I was afraid of having Pneumonia when I actually had a pocket of "something" above my liver among other little things. They spoke w/ my Surgeon and then put in a drain. They took out 100 cc's then and since then its been a total of 205cc's and counting... I feel like Iron man with a huge piece of equipment in my upper torso. They were going to grow a culture over the weekend to see whats going on. I had white blood cells but no "bacteria". So my body was/ is working hard to kick something's ass.

Pray this is a speed bump only and that I will be back on regular healing course soon!!! Thanks Everyone.

Hi GoofySpice, thanks for checking in though it's not all good news. However, it sounds like you are getting the medical attention you need - so glad to hear that. I'm also glad to know you acted once you felt something wasn't right.

Wishing you a speedy and full recovery sooner rather than later. Blessing & Hugs!!

Prayers for you and best wishes on a speedy recovery. I had abscesses in my abdomen and pelvic cavity after my revision. I had drains placed, and had lots of antibiotics that helped resolve them 100%. It is painful and uncomfortable with the drains, and I hope you feel better soon.

      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.
