In the hospital again!



Recommended Posts

Ty all so much for ur kind words. Last night they moved me to ICU for closer observation. At 7 am, they came in and did a bronchoscopy and flushed my lungs with a saline and sucked it all back out to check for cells and whatever bacteria is making me so sick. (Yeah never doing that again!) that was pure torture! They gave me versaid, and fentinol an I was still too coherent. I was gagging and trying to cough the instrument out. Total nightmare!

On the upside I might get to be moved to a regular floor soon. Praying for that! It won't be as noisey as the ICU and I might get to rest! Ugh! Sorry to rant and rave, just another stumble on my journey to a better me... Ya know!?

Thank you all for your words of encouragement!! You guys have been amazing to me and I can't tell you what that means to me.

Looks like I might get to go home tomorrow! Or at least I'm hoping ... Lol .... I'm doing much better and finally holding my own without oxygen at 96%. When I got here I was on 4 liters of oxygen and still at 86%. They have given me tons of steroids, antibiotics, and fluids. I am feeling a lot better now.

Ty all again for ur prayers and well wishes!

I tried to get released today, but that just wasn't happening! Still waiting to hear from my dr. Ugh! Can't wait to see my kiddos. :( It's hard being the momma and not being able to see the lil ones. But at least there's a light at the end of my tunnel.

Hope you get released tomorrow. I know hospitals aren't a place to rest which is most likely what you need to heal. Feel 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.
