I've had such a rough time since surgery that at one point I asked myself why did I have this surgery!!  I know its only because I dont feel good that I say those words. I'm still taking anti-neausea medicine and pain pills every four hours and I've tried not to but the neausea always wins. I'm getting better each day but the dang neausea just wants to keep hanging on! If not for that I'd say I felt great!! Yesterday was my two weeks post-op and I have lost 16 lbs. now. So its working.. just slow goings! I made the mistake of going on here and reading peoples blogs that had their surgery same day and seeing some of their weight loss progress made me feel I wasnt doing right. But 16 lbs isnt that bad for 2 weeks and I realize everyone is different.. so I'm happy with my progress! . As long as I'm taking the neausea meds and the pain pills I can make it through the day. So now I'm just waiting for that morning I wake and say omg I feel soooo good!  Getting in all my protein and drinking all my water too.. also getting a walk and starting walking in the pool while my granddaughter plays yesterday. Hope the exercise helps.

I cant believe how very sick I have felt since surgery. I am always  very neauseated, have a very extreme pain in the middle of my stomach and dry heaves which about kill me and diaherra. I was released Thursday (June 26th) and went back to emergency room Friday it was so unbearable. The surgeon wanted me to go clear back to Portland but I couldnt really afford the gas for another trip.. so he let me go to emergency room here locally as long as they called him and he could tell them what he wanted.  Thank god.. I didnt want to make that trip again!! They took many test, cat scan, xray and blood work and said it all came back good. Filled me with IV fluids,  neausea meds and pain killers and sent me home. The surgeon said he thinks I caught a gastroenal bug during surgery and said that happens sometimes. I went to see my surgeon  today (Wed. July 2 = a week since surgery) and he said he thinks the bug is just about out of my system now and that i'm on the downhill side of things and that things should start feeling much better for me in these next days to come. I cant wait for that t o happen!!! It seems though as long as I take the neausea medicine and the pain pills I honestly can handle most of whats going on with me now. I dont want to live off these pills for the rest of my life though so I hope it turns around soon!  I also got on the scale at the surgeons offce today.. one week post op.. i'm down 10 lbs!  I'm lower than I have been in 5 yrs so it made me feel good to see that! So thats where things stand as of now.. just waiting for that day I can say I feel fantastic like everyone else!!
