The "swallow" thread...



Recommended Posts

Poor Penni, I was having trouble swallowing (FOOD, duh) but I was too sick to get to my puter so I asked Penni to post whether anyone else has problems swallowing. The big dork didn't even catch her typo so the title came out looking really bad, and she never finished writing the body of the post cuz she had to get me to the hospital. When she saw all the responses she was so, so embarrassed, but she ended up not deleting it because I was doing really bad and was really depressed, so she read the posts to me in my hospital bed, and I nearly died laughing. You guys are nuts! I can't believe you naughty girls! But thanks for getting me out of that funk... and yes, I was in the hospital - I'll post those details later. Love you guys, you slay me.

sorry Penny, and Lisa! I'm glad you two deleted the thread because it was getting out of hand and I just couldn't resist...I'm so easily distracted! Then I was feeling bad about pitching in, but if the thread made you laugh in the midst of your struggle, it was worth it! Feel better DeLarla and fill us in on the drama. Thanks for taking care of her Penni! You are a good friend...

Yea. Well it was all in good fun. But, I apologize if my participation offended anyone. You're right, it did get out of hand.

Wow! I was actually shocked speechless that Penni had posted such a thread, LOL!! I couldn't have responded even if I had wanted to!!! Anyway, though, I'm glad it made you laugh when you were feeling so bad. Hope you're ok. Is Chris taking good care of you? He better be or we will send Penni over to kick his ass, LOL!!!

First, Penni is not my friend, she's my sister. All the nurses in the hospital figured we were sisters, so we just went along with it. I'm not home in my own bed, I'm at Penni's house in California, so Chris can't take care of me. But the poor guy has called and is sitting at home stewing and fretting wondering how I am. He thinks I'm coming home tomorrow, but I have to stay an extra day so Billy can check my wound tomorrow. Darcy, this one's for you - it's a 3 inch long gaping wound packed with gauzed, and they did not sew it shut. Nice n' gross. Penni will take a picture of it tomorrow cuz she's really gross, too. Billy insisted that I look at it because I need to monitor it, but I didn't do so well and almost passed out while Penni stared right at it. My friend, Gross Mary, home in Vegas will be responsible for changing my dressings. GROSS.

As sorry as I am for you... I can't help but feel a little jealous that Penni gets to take care of that open wound!!!! I'm going to sit right here and wait for the pictures. I'm glad you have another gross friend at home to help you out! I am going to say a big ole prayer for you girl... along with the healing vibes!

That one deserved a citation from the internet police! But it WAS all in good fun...I assume Penni & Lisa deleted it, it's not around anymore (Thank GOD!) and I heard you can delete threads you start , I just don't know how. Lisa does, she starts stuff all the time and gets us in trouble...just kidding. I take full responsibility for my participation. I'll keep looking for updates!

It's not over yet...Pack with gauzed, it will be a week or so for that gauze to come clean. I hope you'll be back to Penni's/Ventura for check-up.

Hang in there Chris and John those sisters are just startin to rip!

      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.
