Finally Home!!

Hey. Finally home and doin the Happy The drive was not too bad. Barix Called while I was in transit to find out How I am doing!! They are awesome. I got in some good liquids today and 20 g of protein... I tried a soup too and had a bit of a yogurt...(eww I really don't like yogurt) and SF popsicles yummmy!! so far so good. I have even had some BM's.... Woohoo... and still have Mr H(PITA thnx Viv) I will use that now) I even went to the grocery store with the family to make sure they had some stuff for dinner. Still a mom Everyone has to eat....what can I say it felt good to walk around after that long drive. Just took some Pain meds and starting to feel better...Not in too much pain I am glad to say. I think this will all go well I have an appointment with Dr Kam on April 16 for my Post op. so I will try everything I bought that you can only get in the "US" so I can bring more back...and we will go from there. I did not weigh myself yet will do that tomorrow am... and kinda go from there and see what happens. Thnx to all of you with your good wishes, thought and prayers. It all went well and I am feeling good. Looking forward to my new life. Ciao for now Elisa PS Georgann how are you doing?? I enjoyed meeting you and talking and walking the halls of Barix!! Hope all is well... hoope to hear from you soon..XO

Welcome home Elisa!!!! Congrats on making it to the losers bench!!! Hey everyone move over...Elisa is here!!!! Remember to sip and walk and rest for now....You are doing great!!! Hugs Judy

Hey Judy Thnx I will remember I find I am quite thirsty so it is not so hard to sip. I guess I have to do it all gradually though!! so no issues!! Have a great day Elisa 235/246/125

Doing much better today than yesterday -- which was a big improvement from the first afternoon home! If I keep improving at this rate, I figure by early next week, things will be almost "normal." Barix called me yesterday to check on me -- but missed me because I was out walking! Gas pain is my biggest issue right now, so I'm moving around a lot. I'm not liking anything I'm mixing with the whey protein ... so need to find some other ways to get up to my grams. Like you -- water/fluids are not a big problem. I'm thirsty constantly.

Hey Georgeann Glad to hear you are feeling better. I bought Lean Protein Ready to drink I had part of that for Breakie I tried the Vanilla and it was really good. It is 40 g of protein and 0g sugar I found it at GNC or you may be able to get it at other vitamin stores... Yummm I also had the Slim fast Low carb drink yesterday chocolate(bought it at Meijers in the vitamin section) and kinda sipped on that all day. it was good too. so yesterday I got in 20 g. already this morning I got in about 15 grams.... I am hoping to be able to finish that drink over the course of the day. now seriously take a 1/4 of a banana 1 scoop of choc. protein and 1/2 cup skim milk and 3 ice cubes blend really well so there is no banana pieces and that is a yummy protien shake. I usually drink that after a work out. I bought banana's yesterday and they are not ripe enough yet and when they get too ripe I will just freeze them. I am also enjoying the tropical sugar free popsicles... Yummmm helps with fluids.. I am going to cook a chicken soup today ok I will guide they kids but then I will freeze it into portions for myself. and have some. anyways e-mail me if you need any other [email protected] good luck Hugs Elisa

Glad your home ..... hey I like the nectar protein I have the peach and mix with oj and the capiccino mix with milk I also have matrix cookies and cream that I mix with milk all are over 25 gms of protein and all are yummy !!!!!!

Hey Jenny I will probably pick some up when I go back for Post op on the 16th of April. It is always nice to have a variety. The protein is something we should always have as a staple anyways. I am just feeling really cold lately.. like my hands... strange. But already my body fat has gone down and I am down on my scale about 7 pounds.. but I will see when I see Dr. Kam what the real number will be.... take care Elisa

I will be getting my real wt on Monday when I see Dr Pop. I to had cold hands after I also find my self to be more cold in general... thats ok Im hot at heart....lol

Well I am glad that you made it home and that you are doing so well. Georgann great to hear that you also are home,..The gas was a problem for me also... I drank some warm tea and it worked its way out.....It was very nice meeting the 2 of you and having someone to walk the halls with....Elisa thank you for the flowers.....
