Re: ... DIFFERENT DOCS DIFFERENT ADVICE

Amen !!!! I feel the same way you do. I too was watching the world

go by without me. Wanting to do so many things and not able to. I'm starting

to get back into life again.

This surgery for me was also the end of the line. My GP and I didn't feel

there was any other way I'd live to a ripe old age. My problems now are trying

to get in the necessary calories and liquid. Never in my life did I ever

think I would ever say " I'm just not hungry " .....lol. I have to pretty much

force

down what I eat and struggling to get in 1000 to 1200 calories. Some days I

get closer than others to the 1000. I've already reached this first plateau

and I'm a little frustrated. The Dr said I need to eat more to get the

calories in. So now it seems I'm eating all day....lol.

I'm at the end of my 6th week out of surgery and I'm finding myself real

tired and belly is sore. Not sure if I'm trying to do to much or what. Has

anyone else experienced this? I really haven't lifted or pushed anything heavy

so

I'm hoping I haven't done anything wrong and it's just part of the healing

process.

Well enough rambling for now. Hope everyone has a good day and God Bless!!!
