6 days post-op

Nov 01, 2009

So I finally had my surgery done on monday and was able to come home on weds. today is sunday and tomorrow i will be one wk post op. I feel about as well as can be expected. I'm starting to crave solid foods and sweets again! i know its terrible but i love my carbs! lol I won't eat any don't worry.

I weighed myself today starting weight was 241, the day of my surgery i weighed 233 and today i weight 227. I'm so glad i've lost some weight. I have a gast tube that i use a port for the fluids i need to have but cant finish like my meal replacements shakes. No one told me about the gast tube so it was a shock waking up to that. and when i woke up i was in some terrible pain. so don't let people tell you it doesn't hurt because it is quite painful BUT mind over matter and you'll be in the clear in no time. today i'm feeling pretty good, i actually left the house to go to marshalls and target and i didn't feel like i was light headed and lethargic.

The best advice i can give to others having the surgery is- have plenty of gas-x on hand or beano because the gas pains are awful. AND walk walk walk and walk somemore. its soooo wonderful what a little walking can do and don't forget your vitamins! they are key!

I'm here for anyone who has any questions. just email  or msg me. I plan to keep everyone updated on my journey,so stay tuned for more from me!

Thanks to everyone for all your support and love.
