can't be any more boring then being stuck in the hospital. i got out of there just in time. i had the room to my self every night, they had a few same day and one ER person in there for a few hours in the afternoon but they were gone by the evening. well this afternoon i get a post-op guy in my room. so he is single but his sister came to be with him. well she has 3 bays, ages must have ranged from 3 to 7. it got a lot less boring with them running around, taking all the sterile gloves out, slamming the bathroom door, etc, i was happy to get out of there.
So guess what happened to me last night
So i had breakfast, felt good, had lunch and was doing well, had dinner and thought all was well. Well i had to go to ER, about 2 hours after dinner i started to get pain, hot flashes, cold sweat and want to :barf
Took two Tylenol and told Aimee to keep an eye on me, well something did not feel right, i said to my self, what am i crazy :crazy:, I tell Aimee to take me to ER. Go off to ER, lost all of my dinner there :barf get 2 then 4 mg of morphine because the pain was intense. :roll_over:
So basically my small intestines were still not up to the task to process all that food.
So i am still here tonight. They gave me a liquid dinner and want to keep me for observation then ease me onto soft diet
If all goes well i will be out of here tomorrow and will need to slowly introduce solids back into my diet :fart

Sorry to hear that Steve.
Can you say "moderation". LOL
well it is all relative, they said i can resume a normal diet but not to go to crazy, but i guess they don't know what is normal for me
i hope to get out of here today, i had a liquid dinner last night and today they will start me on soft meals. i just need to keep :fart

Reminds me of my buddy who go his stomach stapled. Two months later he's eating meals big enough for 3 people. One persons normal is another persons snack.

the nutritionist was just here and we got a plan for my diet. what was normal to me was to go back to a diet of salad, fresh fruit, whole grains etc. I thought they wanted me to stay away from pizza, fried chicken and other less then heathy foods.
Well i should be on low fiber diet, more processed types food, the catch there is they say processed foods caused my initial issue in the first place. so cooked vegetable, white bread, apple sauce not a fresh apple, canned fruits, even ice cream is ok, etc.
I have to ease back into the more fresh stuff. The good news is my diet of IV liquids has kept me on my weight watchers for men diet, i lost like 6 lb this past week compared to the 1.3 avg per week i have been loosing.
The thing i like about the weight watchers diet is you pick what you want to eat as long as you stay within the a lot points. So even when i had a cheat day at Carlise i still lost a bit of weight that week.
