Surgeon Testimonial

Thomas R Brown
Dr.Brown is very professional and to the point. He is very intelligent, and knows his stuff regarding WLS. The staff is very fast and efficent. They know what they are doing and how to make the process fast and painless. This bariactric center has a great system, you come in for a 3 hour appointment and they do psych, diet and surgeon consults in one day. They do another appointment for nutrition and then your scheduled. VERY EFFICENT!rnThe whole office is very supportive.

Surgery went GREAT! Life after begins.

My surgery went very well with no complications. I was able to get off the MORPHINE pump and the IV very quickly.

AND LET ME TELL YA...THAT CATHADER IS FREAKING REDICIOLUS! It hurt more than the surgery!
NO not inserting it, cuz I was out for that part of it, but the walking around with it in, and the laying there accidentally hitting the tube and having it pull on your private parts...MAN!! That is my biggest complaint of the whole thing. LUCKILY they took it out the next day cuz I was so MOBILE!! NOW my private woman parts feel tender from the whole thing...yuck.

The Dr. was impressed with my speedy recovery.
Im complaining right now about all the bubblys Im having, its endless, everytime I drink Im bubbly.
It kinda hurts in my stomach all the time with the bubbles.  I always feel like I have a stuck burp down in my chest.
I seriously hope that goes away quick.

I seriously miss food. I have not had food sinct the 6th of FEB. NOW I feel weak, and that I have not even an ounce of energy. I fantasize about eating any food. Even the smallest portion. Im even fantisizing on what healthy foods I can make when I can actually eat.

MY DR HAS ME ON A CLEAR LIQUID DIET UNTIL A WEEK AFTER MY SURGERY. THEN, I can go on FULL liquid diet including PROTIEN shakes, for a week, THEN its pureed foods 1 WK . THEN soft foods1 WK. After all of that IF I can tolate reg foods I can choose to move to them.

I have to learn to eat slow! Ive already threw up a popsicle due to the fact I ate it to slow. THEN I felt like I had slight dumping syndrome on my second protien shake. I moved my diet along to protien shakes cuz I felt I could handle it. The first one was fine. THE second one made me dump. BUT....Maybe it had too much sugar in it. I needed to move my diet along, I had NOOOO ENERGY! I felt like I was going to faint the instant I stood up.

The good news is that I have lost a total of 16 lbs!!! THAT is what keeps me going.
Hope all is well with you all out in Obeisity Help Land!!
 
Do any of you have any suggestions for the BUBBLYS....AHHHHH

Day 3 of the CLEAR liquid diet. GOD help me.
BUT YOU KNOW...TODAY is actually not as bad as yesterday.
I have not had any broth yet today because frankly I cant STAND it...
Ive tried the broth...beef...CK...AND Veg broth... I mean...THEY are just OK.
I spiced them up with garlic, onion and red pepper powdwers...and its OK.

Im sucking down water bottles with the CRYSTAL LIGHT hunger version, its got 3 grams of protien and 5 grams of fiber, so THAT is helping somewhat.

BUT TO THE GOOD NEWS..
MY surgery is TOMORROW!!! 
Im super excited.......a little scared too. MOSTLY because I miss food....MOSTLY because Im hungry! I just want to get it over with. I just want it done!

Ill post back with you all soon after my surgery!

SO FAR Ive lost a total of 8 lbs on this liquid diet! AND the numbers will start FALLING off soon ..................hopefully.

Day 2 of my 3 day liquid diet
on February 8, 2009 4:59 pm
Oh my god...this sucks is all I can say.

Im sure this will be eaiser once my stomach has the RNY to do the clear liquid diet...but LET ME TELL YA
Im in hell!

This is hard...I cant eat anything! I have to eat broth, and I do have to admit that I thought it would be eaiser than it is. I assumed broth tastes better than it actually dose. I mean...Ive had it with noodles in it.....seemed good then...Ive had it at BENIHANI ....it WAS just broth with onions in it AND THAT was good... so I thought it would not be that bad...but...I seem to be wrong.
I hate it. IT tastes bad!

Well Im just bitching.

Im just use to EATING!! And this is day 2............of broth.

SO...................Ill quit bitching.......and just deal with it. IN THE END IT WILL MAKE ME THIN...AND HEALTHY.... SO ...ITS WORTH IT.
