comments tuesday july 23 2013 beginnings the beginning of learning to eat again with a brand new post roux en y stomach pouch is a diet composed mainly of clear liquids that means that except for milkshakes made up in a blender with unsweetened vanilla flavored almond milk fat free no sugar added ice cream and unjury protein powder she is limited to clear broth reduced sugar clear fruit juice without any pulp sugar free popsicles and sugar free jello it will be 4 or 5 more days before she can step up to what is termed full liquids including dairy puddings yogurt creamed soups and thin cooked cereals i have made up a batch of homemade applesauce that will be good when she can tolerate it she took a chance and had a small spoonful today even that challenges the new stomach pouch but she enjoyed and it seems to have done no real harm so t his is the beginning swan posted by sue at 11 50 pm no comments monday july 22 2013 home we brought t home from the hospital this afternoon arriving here at about 4 pm she is well although very very tired we are all just very glad to have her here our old man cat pranzer her special feline buddy is glued to her side tom and i have done our level best to spend lots of time with him but there is no replacement for his mommy now we begin the long journey through post surgical weight loss and the slow return to what will become the normal eating patterns for her for the next few days that will be mostly clear liquids and the protein supplement that is recommended for bariatric patients slowly over the next few weeks she will advance through stages full liquids soft foods and then eventually solids there is time for all of that now for today it is just enough to have her back with us swan posted by sue at 6 21 pm no comments friday july 19 2013 better today today t is much better the x rays today showed that the contrast medium is moving down into the large intestine and the nurses are beginning to be able to hear bowel sounds she is having much less pain and there has been no nausea at about 2 00 this afternoon they clamped the naso gastric tube and allowed her to start sipping water and eating ice chips that all seemed to go fine this afternoon if she continues to do well for 12 hours they will remove the n g tube and allow her to start on clear liquids a couple of days on clear liquids and she will probably be able to come home assuming all goes well so maybe we will be able to bring her home on sunday or monday today is definitely better than yesterday swan posted by sue at 8 37 pm 3 comments thursday july 18 2013 not as easy as it looked we were thrilled with the outcome of t s surgery on tuesday she seemed to breeze right through and when we left the hospital on tuesday evening we were imagining she might be home today sometime wednesday started out well and things were looking promising but by afternoon it began to appear that there were problems developing the doctor had ordered a routine x ray with contrast that was meant to show that all the new connections were intact that was done at about 9 00 wednesday morning and in theory once it was read by the radiologist she would be allowed to start taking clear liquids we waited and waited and waited as the morning turned to afternoon and then as the afternoon wore on we began to worry too she began to feel nauseous and her abdomen was distended and felt warm to the touch she began to complain of pain inside and it kept getting worse and worse by about 6 pm we got word that there was nothing moving through the stomach absolutely nothing passing through the stomach and into the intestine we were told that it might be edema that was causing swelling and preventing the contrast media from moving through the new pouch it might also be an ileus we are familiar with ileus tom had trouble with ileus after his roux en y and again after his bowel obstruction or worst case maybe it was a kink in the intestine which would necessitate further surgery to correct it we were at the hospital until about 9 00 last night and when we headed home we were very concerned that there would be more surgery today we tried to get to bed early and got up at 3 45 am so we could be back at the hospital by 6 am to see her surgeon when we arrived it turned out that a series of additional x rays were being ordered to try and evaluate the situation we spent about 13 hours today waiting for some word watching poor teresa hurt helpless to alleviate her pain and nausea it was a long miserable day for her at the end of it all it appears that there is significant swelling which is impeding the flow of liquids through the stomach there will be more x rays tomorrow but unless the docs see something else this is going to be mostly a matter of some days to allow the swelling to resolve at least tonight she seems to be feeling better hopefully she ll be able to sleep tonight hopefully we will do likewise tomorrow we ll be back at the hospital with her and we ll see where we go from here swan posted by sue at 10 59 pm no comments tuesday july 16 2013 out of surgery t is out of surgery as of 11 00 our time everything went very very well the surgeon was able to do it all via laprascope so much less difficult than we feared she will be a couple of hours in recovery and then may be home in 2 3 days to say we are relieved is a huge understatement thrilled thank you all for the good energies swan posted by sue at 12 01 pm no comments older posts home subscribe to posts atom skinny legs teresa s progress tom s
