It's me

Apr 16, 2009

I am doing well . I have had a little setback but ....... I am okay. I was home for about 5 days and suddenly I felt something warm  on my nightgown. My wound had opened and was draining pink colored drainage .I had Open RNY  on 3/18/09.Anyway  as a result I had 2 nursing visit a day for 3 weeks and now I have a maching called a wound vac . The Vac  actually vacs up the drainage from the wound . The vac looks like a small computer and I carry it in what looks like a handbag.The nurse comes 3x /week now. The wound IS closing and I should be back to work soon. I have lost 35 lbs so far!  I feel a little week form time to time. The problem I am having is I do not like the milk based Protein shakes. I have been drinking them way before surgery just to get used to them  and now I  am DONE   UGH!!!!. Thank God for Isopure! Oh by the way , I actually DUMPED on the Protein Shots ! They look like large blood vials  andhave 45 grams of protein  in them . What I did was drink 3/4 of the vial very fast and the rest is UGH!!!!  Pure DUMPING!!!! I am on Pureed  now and  feel ready to eat something well seasoned! I made the Ricotta Bake that Eggface created and OH  I love it. Ya see, I had a taste for Pizza that I could not get rid of.This was so easy to make and so good. Thanks EGG!  By the way I am no cook so this was really something .I want my steamed Salmon  but will have to wait . I do not want Salmon or Tuna salad . I want  Salmon  steamed in Italian dressing   ooh so good.

I have only been able to walk at this point as the doctor has not cleared me to go to the GYM or return to Work as the wound is still draining. emotinally I am still hearing from friends that I did not have to do this (RNY) I was fine without it ! Imagine that what did they know about how I feel.One girlfirend said I am going to have an attitude now because of how I have been treated.She must be psychic!.That's  all for now . Keep in touch.Let me know how you all are doing. Smooches!
