oh holy crap...you are my new favorite person! LOL
i have been looking around the entire site, really trying to get myself prepared for what is coming. one of my biggest questions has been about what my diet should be like once i get my bypass. at first i felt like it was the first day of school and i was looking at a really big syllabus for calculus or something! LOL, i thought, "i don't understand this!"
then i came across your thread with the meal info and diet examples. GODSEND! logically i know that, the close it comes to time--and then once i'm actually IN it--i should have a better grasp on what i should/shouldn't do. in the meantime though, i am one of those people who HATES not knowing what to expect!

so, thanks for giving me a little bit of my sanity back! i'm gonna have to send dr. c a thank you letter...i don't know what i'd do without this site...and i haven't even had surgery yet!!! LOL

We are quite special. A surgeon's nightmare.

Is there anything stronger they can give you? Or switch it out on and off.. you just may be getting used to it. I'm sorry you have to go through the possibility of a chronic ulcer.

I'm... slowly getting there. Doc is monitoring me every 2wks, wants me eating 3x a day and 2 snacks. I'm not doing so well with it. We are avoiding a picc line since obviously my last one was infected, but ive gotten to 108.

i'm going to ask the age old question, how you feeling?

You're totally right. I started this for me, for a healing calming spirit when I needed it and for others to have a nice gift, but I noticed yesterday that life is so much more peaceful on the forum with all these beautiful signatures. It brought tears to my eyes thinking about it. My nerves are holding out okay. I still have 10 sedatives and I'm trying to save them for next week when I'm afraid it might get worse, shaking a bit each day and 2 bad dreams, but I'm so ready for this life change, that I'm handling it well I'm so glad you love your siggie. I loved making it for you!

Your siggie is done http://www.thinnertimesforum.com/soc...ture-form.html

I think my ulcer is almost gone. I'm glad too, cause eating helps the nausea go away. Feel like it's impeding my weightloss even tho I'm making good choices. I have a meeting tomorrow to determine when my date will be. I'm scared. If it's not in the next 2 weeks, I just don't know how I can hang on. I'm shaking all the time my nervous system is in so much trouble.

Hi sweetie, I miss you. How're you feeling? Is the ulcer any better?

I know you've got your stuff going on, but my surgery is this tuesday coming up. I know i'm in good hands, just worried i'm going to wake up and the bypass will be undone. Thats my HUGE HUGE fear, after all ive been through the past 2 yrs, to have it all gone. I hope you are taking care of yourself. I worry about you all the time.

Bettthhhhh I have missed you so so much!!!! WOW you look amazing!!! how is life these days???
