1st of all, thank you for all your posts to my surgery page over the past week for my surgery. It has helped me alot. I've replied to some of you but not a chance to all. So don't think I didn't get it or forgot about you just sore. This is the 1st day I have felt well enough to sit in this chair and be able to post. I had surgery on the 13th and am feeling the pain, but it's not as bad as I expected. This is one pain I know I will soon forget, but not the experience. I've been able to handle the pureed meals as of this time. I can tolerater 2 ounces of pureed at this time. I have already lost 8 lbs post op. I figured there would be a regular 10# or so of the hospital weight. I had some nausea the 1st 3 day after but that was from the pain meds. To counteract that I was given ofcourse anti-nausea meds. Which in turn gave me a headache. The pump was removed and I started to feel great! For the past month I had been so nauseated That it feels so good not to be. So foods are liking me so far. I'm hoping not all of them do. I have for the 1st day gotten in all my protein, and water! This site has been so helpful and momma, I don't know how you did it getting right out of the hospital and jumping right back in. Thank you and for those of you who are fellow losers I hope your reaching goals. Those of you about to go thru surgery, I'm right there with you. For those of you who are just getting started, do your research and listen to you rDrs. and supportgroups. They know best.
