In reply to the discussion: I'm having bariatric surgery next week and trying to prevent from becoming homeless. [View all]BlueLucy
(1,609 posts)78. It was rough for me.
I've been in such pain, I have not been able to come online or even think. I was dealing with an infection as well of the surgery. This surgery is not as easy to do as some say. Maybe, I have a low tolerance for pain or maybe the infection prevented me from healing. Today is the first day that I feel like I am finally on the other side of this. I've been really weak, unable to drink any protein drinks or even much water. I've had to have several IV infusions this week but finally, yesterday... I drank 2 Premier protein drinks and three 16 oz bottles of propel water.

That was no joke. That offer was from an established DUer- he did not realize that you lived
