Guest guest Posted June 1, 2000 Report Share Posted June 1, 2000 Dear Lori: It is SO good to hear you are better and discharged. I was worried when I heard you had a fever. I'm glad you are doing well now, and also that the experience in the hospital was pleasant for you. I, personally, wanted to get out of there as soon as possible! To be exact, I was there 25 hours! It would have been one less, except that Dr. R came by at 6:30 a.m and by 7:00 when I told the nurses I was ready to go, it was shift change so I had to wait another hour. I have been doing well. I have had very little pain (and only in the first day), no nausea, no reflux, and none of that awful post-op hunger some people seem to have. Getting in all the supplements can be challenging at first. I have found it is easier to make two " smoothies " per day -- one in the evening and one in the morning -- including all the supplements -- creatine, glutamine, citrucel, and whey protein -- I add all these with 1/3 cup non-fat plain yogurt, a splash of juice, and some kind of fruit (bananas, peaches, strawberries). I toss in a little ice and blend it well in the blender. It doesn't even need sweetening because the whey and citrucel are already sweetened. Just be careful and drink SLOW because it makes about 8 ounces. I usually " sip " on it over a couple of hours. How are all the other recent post-ops doing? I can hardly believe it's already been a week since my MGB. Best / e MGB 5/25/00 260/252/140 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
