Hi Kelly

Welcome home!

Concentrate on your fluids and protein right now, as long as you are taking in your liquids that is all that is expected this early out.

Remeber the post-op wards you go to are not all bariatric patients, they are usually mixed surgical wards, we need to either advocate for ourselves or have someone there to do so.

Hi ok ed. I met you at the York meeting! I think we should make sure that we have someone to advocate for us for sure. That is what I did wrong. I had all the knowledge, but didn't share with
my mom and hubby that they could give me the wrong food. And I was in such a haze that I didn't think at all.

Surgery March 23/2011. Completed three full marathons and two half marathons, two half Ironman distances. Completed my first Full Ironman distance (4 km swim, 180 km bike, 42.2 km (full marathon) run) in Muskoka August 30/2015. Next Ironman Lake Placid July 23/2017!

Sounds a little frightening..........glad all is better. 

As far as the food, shows again that we have to be responsible for our own health, don't take everything a face value, not everybody knows about our surgeries, hard to believe when you are in the hospital having the surgery that they don't know what you should be eatting but true, they gave me cornflakes and a muffin my first morning, I went I don't think so, but it was the diabetic tray, was the answer lol. 

Welcome to the bench.

Take Care of You

Wow! At least you didn't eat it lol. I think I'm just surprised how dopey I was, and now looking back, my first meal was 7 am before visiting hours started. So no one would have been able to advocate for me. Ah well.

Yikes, scary stuff; your family must have been very worried.  I'm glad to hear that you are home now and on the road to recovery. Take care of yourself. Enjoy your journey.
