Well as of yesterday I am two weeks post op, I don't feel like I'm losing the weight as fast as I'd like, but i also know that I've been sick, and I was back in the ER Sunday night and found out I had a Kidney infection. So it's been a really tough two weeks. But I'm hoping that it will start getting better here on out. I'm going Thursday to the community center in Sevierville to start walking on the treadmills. I've been walking around the house and outside, but it's just been so hot. I feel like I'm well enough now that I can at least start walking a couple times a week and I know that will help with the weight loss. I have also started on the soft diet, which I am handling better, not feeling as nausea. So that's a good sign. I'm just gonna keep trucking along!!!

Spent all day at the Hospital on Wednesday, had the PICC Line placed and was given medication for the Nausea and two bags of fluids. I felt alot better when we left. Yesderday, went good, I only had one bad bout of Nausea and pain that last about three hours. I've been drinking slower and taking only two oz at a time and then resting between drinks, it takes  longer to get a meal down but it seems to be working and I was able to meet my goals for fluid and protien yesterday. Today has been good so far, no nausea.

So I am going in the morning to have a PICC Line placed and get fluids and meds. Hopefully I will come home after that and be able to resume drinking fluids ok.

Well it's just after noon, and I'm so nausea it's not funny. waiting for the nurse to call me back, I think if they tell me this time to come on in to the hospital I'm not gonna fight it, What I'm doing at home is not working and I need some relief!! 

Well so far I've been able to drink just enough fluids to keep me out of the hospital. So far this new nausea med is helping so what. I'm at least able to drink fluids.. Holding on the protein shakes for a little then I will give it a try again.

I had surgery on Monday, every thing went well. Dr. Boyce's is the best!!!:) All the nurses at the hospital were friendly and helpful, I had a great experience there. I was kept one extra day do to uncontrolled Nausea, and on of the medication gave me very bad blur vision.

So I've been home since Thursday and was doing pretty good with the post op diet, and not having much pain or nausea. Then yesterday the nausea started up again and I was not able to get all my fluids in Today the nausea has be so bad, I can't drink anything without feeling sick. I've tried all the suggestions and taken the meds and nothing seems to help. So I finely gave the office a call. They are calling me in a different nausea med and I'm going back to drinking 1oz every 15min. I hope this works, Dr. Boyce's said if I'm not improved in the morning will have to admitted me back to hospital for fluids.

Only 6 day's left until I have surgery. Having trouble sticking to the pre-op diet, feeling weak and tired, but I am determine to do this the right way!
