One Month Post Op
Jan 15, 2011
One month and one day ago, I had my procedure. I remember that first night, so uncomfortable, thinking, everyday that passes will be better. I felt so bad. I didn't find out until I was leaving the hospital a couple of days later, why. I am a diabetic. After surgery I was suppose to be given sugar free fluids in my IV. I wasn't. My sugar was running near 500 Tuesday night and all day on Wednesday. I felt as though I could fall a sleep and never wake up. It was horrible. Wednesday night I started to feel much better, and by Thursday afternoon, I was ready to go home. One of the night time nurses noticed I was not getting the correct fluids. Of course no one told me. My discharge nurse was running through my sheet and that came out. My husband and I about hit the roof. How are you gonna give a diabetic lots of glucose water?????? I'm peachy now. The past month has went by quickly. I haven't needed my blood pressure medicine since the day before surgery. My insulin is more than 1/2 the dose. I hope the more weight I lose, it will come down even more. Maybe off completely. I would be happy with oral meds! The weight loss is weird. Surgery day I was 273. I'm 251 now. Up from 248. I don't understand it, but it's all good. I hope I don't lose too quickly. I've lost 2"s in my bust, 5"s in my waist and 2 1/2 in my hips. I've went down a size. If I go down a size a month, that will be amazing. My husband took pictures this morning. I couldn't believe the difference when I compared to surgery day! The proof is definitely in the picture! Gonna close this down. It's been a long day. God Bless...
