Guest guest Posted August 5, 2000 Report Share Posted August 5, 2000 Hi Rosemary, Hey, the stapler gun misfired on me, too, but I didn't need the NG tube. Nope, haven't tried the crackers. I'm still trying to stay ahead of the liquids. I feel a bit more peppy today. Have a few strange feelings in my lower abdomen today (probably gas!LOL). Can't wait for Monday to get here for some yummy soft foods! Your littermate is doing just GREAT - I'm right there with 'ya. Just a little slower!

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2000 Report Share Posted August 5, 2000 Hey Bern, I know, but I love this group sooooooooo much!! I'm addicted! I'll die when I start school and can't stay on the computer!! Silly me!! Equal is sugar to me!! and skim milk is milk!!! Sorry, I've been on diets all my life and figure everybody else has too!!! Dr. R said I had the NG tube because of the staple gun misfiring! He said it stapled my stomach to the tube that goes into your stomach during surgery that lets him know how large to make the new tummy, so he had to fix that and put the tube in as precaution. Hey if it's what's kept me feeling as good as I do (bad as I hated it) I'd do it again!! I woke up today feeling normal inside! Cool huh? I was hungry but by the time I drink the dreaded pink stuff!! and sipped down the wonderful orange stuff and stuffed the prevacid hey I'm full, how about you??? Oh and about the antibiotic, I got the IV kind I'm sure of but don't really know what pills and liquids they gave me. They brought and I took! No questions asked! ) And I did get out on Tuesday. Surgery at 7:00 on Monday and out at 3:00 on Tuesday! Did you try the crackers? I sure hope your feeling better! I want my littermate thriving with me!!!!

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2000 Report Share Posted August 5, 2000 Wonderful Bern, I've been wondering how things were! Yeah, I got a lot of gurgling going on there too! And sure enough, gas it was! Do we lose pounds for letting go of some of that? On another note, did you know Dr. R reads the post???? I didn't, do now, glad I'm always saying nice stuff, he might make me come back and take back my little baby tummy huh???????? Your weight loss is great! I wish I knew what mine was. I think I'll take measurements tonight, I took them before the surgery in the hotel room. I'll let you know if I'm shrinking!!!!!!!!!!!! lol Love ya, Rosemary 11 Days post-op - weird > things > > > > > > > happening! > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Hi everyone, > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Haven't seen anyone else post on this topic, so, here > > > goes. > > > > > Seems > > > > > > > > > I'm not getting enough fluids every day because my > urine > > > is > > > > > very, > > > > > > > > > very concentrated and I only " go " a little bit at > most 3x > > > day. > > > > > > > It is > > > > > > > > > caramel colored.
