Hey Guys, just wanted to update you on my progress. I noticed some people were down today but I wanted to hopefully relate and encourage. OK SO....I am 11 days post-op. Everything went great and I had the best nurses and doctors at the hopsital. Well I get home and WOW!!! I WAS IN SO MUCH PAIN!!! I felt like every rib on my left side was crushed and when I moved I felt like everything in me shifted and ripped!! LOVELY!!! Someone else posted this but I too experienced the medical tape allergy! It irritated my skin so much I was going insane. As far as eating, I have really stuck to my orders and all is well but I was sooooo hungry yesterday and I am chalking it up to being mental hunger. I still have my drain in and all my incision staples which is annoying but the good thing is that TODAY I feel GREAT!!! I'm moving really well, my shower was wonderful, and I actually cleaned house a little. I have a much better attitude about my future and as of today I am down 27lbs (this includes the pre-op liquid diet). I will offically weigh in on Tuesday and really excited about it. I went through some depressive moments but like I said today I finally see the brighter side....the pain of it all is what got me. Anyway....sorry so boring but I too thought pretty negative about the whole thing and wondered if "I would be the only one the WL surgery wouldn't work for", but I'm not....IT WORKS.....and I'm FINALLY EXCITED!!!!
