Surgeon Testimonial

Michael L. Schwartz, M.D.
I love my surgeon! He is warm and comfortable and yet can crack a joke. He was very down to earth and made me very comfortable during the consult. I work at the hospital I'm having my surgery done and I could not have picked a better surgeon to do my procedure. I'm very impressed at how professional yet warm and compassionate everyone is. I wasn't sure at one point if I had fallen through the cracks and not made all the appointments I was supposed to or submitted the right paperwork. I was immediately reassured that I had and we were on track. rnrnDr Schwartz definately knows what he's doing. It felt very good that he made it a point that they will be following me for life.. So I should have no worries down the road. I think he has VERY high surgical competence and his bedside manner is warm and caring.

Yesterday/today not doing so great
on July 10, 2009 8:49 am
Well I attempted to make my own version of Eggface's "bites" last nite for dinner (the egg bites on her website).. and shortly after eating one (don't know if I ate it too fast or too much or what???) I was sitting there and suddenly felt very queezy and ran up stairs and proceeded to puke it up.. had 3 waves of the pukers.  I deducted after the fact that I ate it too fast possibly, and peep's had warned me that scrambled eggs/eggs other than poached don't go down too easily. 

So I felt like crap the rest of the night and I am home from work this morning.. I slept okay but got up and still felt queezy... had a glass of water.. too my shower.. ate some yogurt.. and the pukey feeling came back all over again. I think my pouch is pissed at me for putting those damn eggs in there. So I'm home taking it easy today... sip sip sip my water and eating back to basics... finished my yogurt w/o any problems, going to drink a mug of chicken broth for lunch, and i'm going ot have something basic for dinner too.

Sorry pouchy!

3 week post surgery...
on July 9, 2009 5:01 am
Well so far so good! I'm at my 3 week stall as far as the scale goes, but my clothes are definately looser than they were before surgery! In fact a few pairs of capri's are even baggy! So I must still be losing inches.. yippy!

Over the weekend I ran into the first food I haven't been able to tolerate.. fake crab. I bought a brand from cub that comes in smaller pouches and tried it over the weekend.. landed in my pouch like a lead brick and left me feeling blech for several hours afterward. I gave it another try yesterday at lunch by throwing it in the food processor to chop it up (thought maybe consistency was the issue) and stirred it up with a little light sour cream and some light mayo (how I make seafood salad)... well I ate about 3 spoonfuls and that was quite enough for me.. did the same thing all over again. But this brand was not light and flakey like other "mock" crab brands I've tried. So I'm giving up the idea of crab salad for now.. or use the real thing and try that... or make a seafood salad using shrimp...

This week has been the first full time week back to work since sugery and I'm exhausted! Every night when I get home from work around 5 I have to crash out for a little bit...

According to my NUT I'm doing well food and protein wise. Still struggling a bit to get liquids in.. doing A TON better during the day at work doing that, but then I get home and forget to drink.. so i've been in the routine of filling up my water bottle as soon as I get home and keeping it with me the whole time.
