It's Sunday night and I am really depressed. I can't eat. Anytime I try to eat I throw up. When is this all going to end. Food doesn't taste good to me anymore. Not at all the way it used to. If anyone has any advice please let me know. I'm 7 weeks post op and down 60 pounds. Could use some help. Thanks

Update on my Best Friend, Lauren Young - who had Open RNY surgery on Feb. 15th.... I just want to say that I am soooo proud of you for losing over 45 pounds! You are doing so good- walking and taking such good care of your new little pouch ("the papoose") as we call her. I can't wait to hear the new weight loss in a couple of weeks when you go back to Dr. Marema. We are going to have so much MORE fun as your dream becomes truer and truer. Keep up the good work, little girl and keep on believing in "A WHOLE NEW WORLD!" I luv you. Luv, your B.F., "Pooh" :)

UPDATE ON LAUREN - LAUREN WENT TO THE HOSPITAL TODAY AND HAD HER DRAINING TUBE OUT. SHE SAID IT DIDN'T HURT. SHE HAD AN UPPER G.I. SERIES DONE. NO LEAKAGE. THE PAIN IN HER LEG IS NOT ABNORMAL. SHE SHOULD JUST KEEP WALKING TO HELP IT. NOW FOR THE BIG NEWS...drum roll....LAUREN LOST 14 1/2 POUNDS AND ONE INCH! HURRAY! THE DOCTOR PUT HER ON ONE EXTRA MEAL PER DAY, (PROTEIN) SO SHE WILL LOSE WEIGHT EVEN FASTER! SHE IS NOT COMPLAINING ABOUT THAT! :) THE DOCTOR WOULD NOT GIVE HER A "HANDICAP" STICKER- HE SAID HE WANTS HER TO WALK! SHE IS LEAVING THE HOTEL TOMORROW MORNING AND IS HEADING BACK TO HER HOME. SHE SAYS SHE DOESN'T KNOW HOW SHE CAN EVER REPAY HER BEST FRIEND AND SUPPORT PERSON,"POOH", FOR ALL SHE HAS DONE FOR HER. SHE HAS BEEN RIGHT BY HER SIDE EVERY STEP OF THE WAY. GO "POOH"! OH, THAT DIDN'T SOUND RIGHT, BUT IT'S FUNNY! :)

UPDATE ON LAUREN- 2/21/01 TODAY SHE IS BETTER THAN SHE WAS YESTERDAY. YESTERDAY, SHE WAS THROWING UP. DOCTOR'S OFFICE SAID IT MIGHT BE THE DEMEROL, SO STOP TAKING IT. TURNED OUT TO BE THAT SHE WASN'T AWARE SHE NEEDED TO EMPTY HER DRAIN. SHE FEELS MUCH BETTER AFTER DOING THAT. TODAY SHE STILL FEELS NAUSEOUS, BUT SHE ONLY HAS DRY HEAVES, AND NOTHING IS COMING UP. SHE IS WALKING AS MUCH AS SHE CAN, AND IS STARTING TO GET AN APPETITE FOR THE FIRST TIME. THE PAIN IS TOLERABLE, BUT HURTS WHEN SHE MOVES AROUND. SHE'S NOT TAKING ANY PAIN KILLERS. SHE HAS STARTED TO EMPTY HER DRAIN 5 OR MORE TIMES A DAY. HER DIET IS: CRYSTAL LIGHT, JELLO, COTTAGE CHEESE, POPSICLES, SCRAMBLED EGGS, TUNA FISH AND LOTS OF WATER. SHE'S NOT EATING MUCH YET. CAN HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO SUGAR, EVER! CAN'T HAVE CARBONATED DRINKS FOR ONE YEAR. NO CARBS FOR ONE MONTH. SHE HAS AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE HOSPITAL ON MONDAY, FEB. 26 FOR A SERIES OF TESTS, THEN HAS AN APPOINTMENT AT THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE 3 HOURS LATER. HOPEFULLY SHE WILL GET THE DRAIN REMOVED. IF ALL TESTS GO GOOD, SHE WILL BE ABLE TO LEAVE THE HOTEL ON TUESDAY AND GO BACK HOME TO VENICE. OUR PRAYERS CONTINUE...

UPDATE ON LAUREN YOUNG- THIS JUST IN.... I CALLED LAUREN'S HOSPITAL ROOM AND GUESS WHO ANSWERED THE PHONE? LAUREN! SHE IS IN GOOD SPIRITS AND IS VERY HAPPY THAT DR. MAREMA CAME IN AND SAID SHE COULD GO HOME TOMORROW. SHE HAS DONE A LOT OF WALKING TODAY AND IS FEELING MUCH BETTER. THEY HAD TO PUT THE OXYGEN BACK ON HER, BUT SHE IS DOING SO GOOD NOW. HURRAY FOR LAUREN!

UPDATE ON LAUREN- She got out of Intensive Care and into a private room on 2-17-01. They took out catheter, and removed morphine pump and oxygen. Diet consists of: ice chips, jello and crystal light drink. Walked with, and then later without, a walker. She is doing much better. Most likely will be able to get out of hospital on Monday, 2-19-01.
