Guest guest Posted August 31, 2001 Report Share Posted August 31, 2001 Welcome home Peg! Glad to hear things are going well, you looked fantastic!!! Diarrhea...milk products perhaps? Just my $.02?? Dawn I AM HOME!! Importance: High Dear everyone, Had my surgery with Dr. Thayer on Monday and I am home today and doing wonderfully! No incision pain at all, no pain meds needed, walking fine, energy level high, no complications. They even had me visit with some of the other bypass patients to reassure them how much better it gets day by day. Dr. Thayer calls me a horse. I'll take that as a compliment The only problem I've been having is diarrhea. 15 times yesterday and 5 times today. I'm hoping that will settle down. I'll tell ya -- the wooden spoon is my new best friend! I'm trying to drink enough water that the diarrhea doesn't dehydrate me. I can get up and down fairly easily from chairs and beds. I'm still unable to get up from laying flat and I'm sure I will miss that wonderful electric hospital bed tonight! The nurses were all FAB! I even got an Italian serenade from a little Italian lady who cleans the rooms and speaks no English. I am going to send them all a tin of Mrs. Field's cookies. Food goes down fine and stays down, no nausea or problems. I just don't have an interest in it nor do I eat a lot. I certainly never ate more than 1/4 - 1/2 of what they fed me at mealtimes, even stretching the eating out over an hour or more. Tonight I had CIB, applesauce, and some cottage cheese. Boy do you get full fast! A BIG HUG and thank you to Kim and Dawn for visiting me! It felt sooo good to be cared about enough that my friends on this list whom I've never even met came to see me. Thank you to all who send me encouragement and prayers. I've needed the support of this list greatly and I appreciate each and everyone of you who has taken the time to respond. -Peg Dr. Thayer 8/27/01 264/ http://www.mywlsjourney.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
