Surgeon Testimonial

Bruce Long, M.D.
Ok, I met Dr Long a week before my surgery. He endured my list of presurg questions. I had been warned about dry humor but not too bad. Main thing was he has done a lot of these surgeries and he do a good job on me! Only 1 week post op and would recommend him to other patients.

doctor visit and back to work
on March 7, 2009 12:49 pm
Doctors visit went well. I am grateful but not about going back to work. I had so wanted to enjoy days off home alone but my husbands work has been slow and my kids have had multiple snow days . I know that sounds terrible. I love my family and appreciate them but wanted some time alone.

Weight loss is at its first true stall I think. Although I did eat good yesterday without vomiting. I have been vomiting about every 2-3 days. The doc said all that can be expected. The last time I vomited was Thursday...turkey. My mom made a turkey. It seemed very moist but  I guess a little stringy. After vomiting, I chopped up some pieces and put a little gravey on it and that stayed moist and went down fine. Sorry TMI!

Will post again on Monday!!

Down 23.8 pounds since surgery 1/26/2009! I am no longer a candidate for surgery (BMI <40%). My weight loss has been steady and not super fast but I am please. I could still do without the vomiting. I can eat the exact same food and it hit me differently each time. I am going to have to carry a emesis basin around with me. I have to admit I started some exercise but haven't done much at all this week. I recently caught a head and chest cold from my kids. I live in VA and last night we got our first real snow...almost 6 inches!!

I go to md 3/4 for follow up and release to work 3/9  I don't feel like I am ready but I know I have to go back sometime. I have weak spells, especially now that I caught this nasty cold. I plan to pack lots of easy go down foods for while I am at work.

Recently I posted a blog about chicken and veggies not staying down. I was able to start lean meats and soft veggies for week 4 but they still made me puke. Chicken gets stuck and veggies blow me up full of gas. Several folks responded with good ideas. One was, make the chicken in a crock pot. I tried that last night. It did make the chicken very tender. It stayed down this time but with some pain. I also tried those protein shots. I got it down but it was awful and made me gag. I have some on hand for days I can't get anything to stay down but will try very hard to get the protein on my own as close to 60g as possible.  I am going to experiment with some different shakes as well. Let you know what doc and nut says 3/4.

Thanks for reading and your support!!
