5 Days post-op

Jun 30, 2009

So according to my doc she says I should be the poster child for the surgery.  My surgery started at exactly 8am on the 25th and lasted approx 40 minutes.  I was in my room around noon.  24 hours later I went home.  I walked 2 1/2 miles while in the hospital and felt really great.  Felt good until the car ride home.  Started getting sick to my stomach and started vomiting once I got home and have finally been throw up free for almost 48 hours.  Most of it was just dry heaves and sometimes I felt better after heaving.  I still have not had a real good BM and I am sure that I will feel much better when I do, not that I feel real bad now.  My one disappointment has been the change in my tastes or I should say lack of change.  I have been told over and over again that things will taste too sweet or smell too sweet and that the sweet smell or the smell of fast food would make me sick to my stomach.  All I know is that as a drove to my doc appointment and passed about 1/2 dozen fast food joints all I could think was how good it all smelled.  Oh well, maybe  it will change later.  On a more positive note, I weighed 303 lbs the day I left the hospital and I weighed in at 283lbs at the docs office today.  20lbs down in 5 days isn't too bad.  LOL
