need words of wisdom

Nov 27, 2010

Tuesday the 23rd was my sleeve surgery. Doctor said i did well.  so well they didn't have a problem with discharging me on Thursday.  My daughter had surgery on Friday so doctors knew i had to go.   I walked the halls in the hosipital usually doing 4 or 5 laps. they said most pts did only 1 or 2. They knew i wanted out.  of course i carried her to or table she was terrifed (72 lbs)  how bad could that have hurt me? 
since i have been home i'm walking as much as possible  at least 30 mins a day. my pain is crazy rt lower abd pain increases with movements like getting in out of bed or car. omg i have tears in my eyes when i move, besides abd pain i am having back pain thats really bad.  they only gas that i have had is burping!!!!! no bowel movements.  i actually hurt more now days later rather than in hospital.  i'm careful eating /drinking my stomach still makes me double over in pain.  forget me bending over i cant!  my husband is doing awesome he had his sleeve the wed before me.
Please dont let this scare anyone that might be on the fence.  I think its just me i had 7 iv /blood draw sticks even after the midline.

anyways any one have any suggestions?

thanks

Gotta Love the Liquid Diet!

Nov 07, 2010

Because I'm such a good wife, I started my preop diet early to help my husband with his.  I love what it does for the scale!!!!!!!!   If I keep busy, I dont miss eating. I have been so tempted. Friday took my oldest child to the mall, we need some one on one time, she's the oldest of 5, (15,5,twins 4,2).  She ate everything in site, but mom stayed strong! Auntie Ann pretezel was had untill she took a bite of the hot dog one,then the m & m cookie was easy still smelling the old nasty hot hog, the pizza was hard,but it was thin crust so I had my water till we got home and then had my protein shake. This week we are taking a break and going to indoor waterpark with the family, there's 13 of us going  should be relaxing but challenging 4 little ones 5 and under and a teenagers  will be interesting to say the least. Next week is my husband's surgery, and then my middle daughter mri,following week my surgery and my oldest turns 15 on turkey day.  wow sounds busy!     everyone doing the pre op diet hang in there  we will make it!!!!!
