Hey folks quick update. Sorry haven't been on. I'm still on tube feed, but weaning myself down a little bit instead of 24/7. Docs orders were 24/7, nothing but Clear Liquids and 3 times as day compazine for the nausea. He will evaluate me this Friday. Problem is, he said if I am doing well, he may pull tube. That's good but every other time I got worse after. I got sick originally when went to soft foods. So how would I know I can nourish myself, not be nauseous, tolerate soft foods etc..... SO...... I decided to wean myself down. Proud to say. 10 days from hospital stay 4, I backed down now to compazine once a day, maybe 16 hours on tube feed today, I have been trying some solids and have been staying down. I feel confident I can have them pull tube on Friday and sustain myself. I will go back to work next week too after 11 weeks. So I am doing well. Energy is coming back. Ty for all the prayers they were needed. Was so bad at Xmas, I cried and wrote a detailed will. I couldn't even tolerate an ounce of Water and felt death knocking. I have a new outlook and appreciate things like ability to drink water as we all take for granted. Now for the not so good news. On my wife's bypass do of discharge they were surprised at well she was doing from surgery, she has done great BTW. but, with these surgeries we all get a random liver biopsy to check for fatty liver, on the day of discharge they told my wife the biopsy tested positive for cancer. She's went last week and this week for nuclear scans and tests to find the tumor. She's a nurse, so knows to much for her own good. Cancer doesn't start in the liver, in mastaticises there and cones from somewhere else. So 2 places with cancer, liver and other tumor location. Day I I have my appt this Friday, she gets results of all the tests and diagnosis from oncologist. Her mom is flying down to be with us when she gets results. We can't catch a break. She went back to work from bypass surgery yesterday and we are probably looking at surgery for her based on cancer treatment plan. Financially is going to be rougher with more time off but health is foremost of course. She's beside herself with this of course and me too. My illness brought us close together. So prayers again please for her and us. Love you bunch of folks.

You won't know until you try. Go Slow. Perhaps 2 shakes a day and one bit of soft food like a soft scrambled egg or cream of wheat.

Here's hoping the best to your wife from an 8 year uterine cancer survivor.

Still praying for you both. Thanks for the update. Even with all the stress and uncertainty, your post reads much more hopeful and optimistic than before.

Praying for both of you. Maybe the silver lining to your illness is the fact that the two of you have grown closer and are better prepared to handle her situation.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
