I have a leak, not the flu!



Recommended Posts

My thumb is pointing to the leak.

My white blood well count is down to 12, from 24, and 10 is normal

Fever is gone.

Stint is in place for 6 weeks.

I am in three antibiotics and hanging in here.

Stint

How did you notice that you had a leak?

It was not that painful and I was surprised to be admitted. I took a nap yesterday woke up to upper legs aching severely. Then hot( bedding covered in sweat) or so old my jaw was chattering.

Called the on call, went in for blood work and learned my white blood cells were at 24 and 10 is normal. I was admitted and was rushed into cat scan and then rushed into endoscope where the stint was put in place.

So here I sit in the hospital on three antibiotics, fever is gone, white blood cell count is at 12. Getting much better.

      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.
