Finally back online and able to post! grrr!

Jun 23, 2009

So comcast are idiots.. ha ha.. screwed up the work order plus originally ran into a wiring issue.. fun huh?

I am feeling really fantastic! Tomorrow is the one week anniversary officially. Dr Schwartz is a really great surgeon and I was really impressed with the surgical team care and the post surgery nursing care I got at Abbott!

Still struggling with getting enough liquids in. It seems like my whole day is consumed with sipping liquids.. I know its just a fact of life now and eventually I won't even think twice about it. I had a dizzy spell yesterday because I hadn't gotten enough fluids in.. I've already taken the gulp of liquid that is too big.. as well as drinking too many sips at one time and getting that oh I'm too full now in my pouchy! Also struggling with the damn Citracal + D tablets.. petite my ass! Plus cutting them up with my pill cutter is just a big pain in the ass. I tried dissolving them in my water or Crystal light the other day.. so we'll see what works best. I called Bariatric Advantage and they are sending me some calcium citrate + D chewy bite samples. I hope they come soon. And as you all advised me.. liquid in.. liquid out! ha ha 

Enjoying my time off but antsy too. If they clear me on Mon 29th at my post-op visit I'm going to work Tues 30th-Thurs 2nd half days at work and then enjoy the rest of my time off up north at my mom's cabin. My short term disability at work ends Tues 7th so I have to go back on the 8th... whaa whaa 

Thanks for your messages and support!  Glad to be back.. I know I'll need more!
