Amanda R 56 Posted September 19, 2013 That stinks were you anemia before surgery? Start weight 224, Surgery weight 205, Current weight 199 Nope, they said I looked pale when I came back from surgery. I think it was because I had trouble breathing because of where all the gas had settled. Then they said my blood count was low. I can get up to 1000 now on the incentive spirometer though.

SueC1 27 Posted September 19, 2013 I also have to start drinking my fluids the moment I get up or else I get busy and forget about it. Then before you know it, a few hours have passed! Start weight 224, Surgery weight 205, Current weight 199 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sageandcoyesmommy 28 Posted September 19, 2013 Dang I feel like my surgery has failed already because I never feel full(I don't get hungry either though). I keep my water bottle on me and sip all day and easily get around 80 oz/day without ever getting a full feeling.

allison_hicks 6 Posted September 19, 2013 Hey guys!! Nervous wreck here. Monday I started to have foot pain, so Tuesday I saw the dr and thought it was gout, blood work done. By end of day swelling was huge. She thought I had a blood clot so went for a doppler this morning, got blood results which sed rate was sky high. Was called back to hospital for more test. Now I am waiting to go to specialist on Monday. They want me to take aspirin but only two days cause Friday is last day for blood thinners. Please say a little prayer that he is gonna release me for surgery on the 27th. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sometimes I wonder if Im taking to much in. I'm 2 weeks out and I can easily eat a 5.3 ounce of Greek yogurt in one sitting. I've never had a problem taking in fluids, Proteins if many types of food so far. This is good but also scary. I don't want to eat more the I should!
