Dear Bamababy--I am sooo sorry to hear of everything you have been through!!! I had troubles with pneumonia and still fighting an allergic reaction, however I feel so weak for complaining about it. Are you still hospitalized?? I am praying for you to regain your strength both physically and...

Renie- I am still on a small dose of insulin but that is due to being on steroids because of an allergic reaction which will keep my numbers up. I am off all oral meds which has been a blessing, more than likely you will be too!! It is such a wonderful feeling to say my blood pressure is Great...

Has anyone had problems with hives, apparently it is an allergic reaction but to what??? I am breaking out with an itching rash and hives mainly on my arms and legs (sometimes my stomach) and it is setting me crazy!! Benedryl stops the itching but it comes right back when that wheres off. Could...

Sandie- I agree with Tom warm broth really did satisfy me between the taste and the warm liquid feeling good in my belly. I don't know if you can have them but I was allowed sugarfree popsicles which was counted as part of my liquids. They were nice to take the edge off. Take care and stay...

Hi Renie- I had my surgery on Nov 13th, I have hit a couple rough patches but so far has been happy for results: coming off my blood pressure and cholestrol meds and my blood sugar coming down to a managable level. Certainly are wonderful positives to this lifestyle change. With that being...

It's been a wild ride, I went for my one week check on 11/20 and was feeling extremely weak, dizzy and had a rash on my arms/legs only. My surgeon was out of town for holiday but I was seen by his partner who sent me to the ER for bloodwork and chest x-ray. Of course it seemed to be the...

Tomorrow is my one week check up and it has been amazing I did so well up until yesterday. I was so weak and dizzy I could bearly walk from my room to the bathroom. I had a low grade fever and I was fighting to get my water in, praise God for sugar free popsicles, that's what kept me hydrated...

I use sweet and low always have ever since the 70's, I'm just use to the taste. Hey Sandie my Dr. recommended detox from coffee 1 week before surgery and drink only decaf so that you won't have any withdrawal symptoms (headache) and after surgery decaf only for several months.

I am so happy for you, I had mine on Nov 13th and I am really pleased with how well I am doing except for the constant rumbling and sharp gas pains. I asked my Doctor on day 2 about the Gasx and he said no, however I am growing very tired of it and it is causing alot of discomfort between my...

Thanks Qaterra--I am a peanut butter kind of girl. I'm gonna order it today so I will have it for my smashed and mashed menu next week. I was also looking at Carbquik Baking Mix has anyone used it before?? I normally used alot of Bisquick thought it may be a good alternative, seems a bit...

Hi there Laura, I just had my surgery on Tuesday 11/13. I am 46 years old and I had 2 nurses tell me the same thing that I was not large enough for the surgery, little did they know that I am a diabetic and that is exactly why I am having the surgery to cure myself of such a horrible disease...

Bamababy- I totally agree with everyone, it really depends if your guest are self sufficient or will they be looking to you to entertain, cook, etc. Considering I am two days out you definitely need to rest when your body says rest and I find I am staying very concentrated on my protein...

Hi Sandie, I had my surgery on Tuesday and I am home. I have been taking my pills by swallowing with a small sip of water, which included prilosec, iron, magnesium soft gel, pain meds and the rest are chewable. Make sure you get sugar free popsicles they are wonderful and really do cool my...

Hi everyone, I had surgery on Tuesday and I came home yesterday afternoon. Last night was alittle rough but I did sleep 30 to 45 min intervals. The pain is very tolerable, sore and sometimes sharp "gas" pains. I will continue to take pain meds and hopefully will not need them by tomorrow...
