1/7/03 Well I am almost 5months post op Im doing really good I have lost 85lbs so far. I have had few problems the only problem Im having now is I have been having stomach aches everyday for the past two weeks I have a appt with Dr. Liem on Wednesday hopefully its nothing. I try to exercise but its hard when you work so that was one of my new year resoultions was to exercise more and of course every year I wanted to lose weight and for the first time I am which is wonderful. All of my clothes are falling off of me its a great feeling to put something on that used to be tight and now its falling off of you. Im having alot of hair loss my hair has thinned out alot its pretty nerve racking but no one has notice just me I cant wait for it to stop. Thats all for now.

9/4/02 Well I went today to Dr.Liem's office to have the g-tube removed didnt hurt a bit. I have lost 27lbs so far which is the most I have ever lost in my life its pretty amazing. I got in trouble though I didnt have my binder on I took it off today because I new I was going to the office today and didnt want to be bother with removing there big no no. Maria said you must wear for at least 6 months thats how long it takes to heal inside and everytime you get out of bed or you use you stomach for anything you are tearing out the stitches which will then give you a hernia so she scared me to death so I will it wear it all the time the only time you are to take it off is take a shower. She also said not to throw up too because that also rips the stitches out too. Well I am on soft foods for now and I have to intake 70 to 75 grams of protein a day thats alot I cant stomach the protein shakes I have not found one that I like yet. But all is good no complications at all I feel great.

Donna, thank you so much for writing me about Dr. Liem. So how is your post-op going? any tricks or info you'd like to share, My surgery date is tomorrow. What were you able to eat when you got home? Maria tells me pureed foods, were you really able to eat that right out of the hospital?
