Yesterday evening I started feeling so much better. It turned out the smell I was smelling was due to the course of antibiotics they gave me in the hospital...yes you guessed it!!! "Womanly issues" My incisions are fine and are healing beautifully. I don't have to take as much pain meds anymore. The hard part is over with, now all I have to do is continue my walking, drink my protein and watch the pounds start to fall!!
That whole temperature thing I was dealing with was just my body's way of adjusting to this new procedure. Everyone reacts differently, I guess.  I am tolerating my protein (Isopure), have not become sick to the stomach ( or pouch! lol),  and are in little to no pain. I thought I wasn't going to make it for a second and be put back in the hospital. But through the grace of God, I was able to spring back to my bubbly- self!!

Ok, it has been four days since my surgery and I did everything the doctor said to do to get my temperature down and it is not working.  I have been sipping all day, taking my meds, walking, and do my deep breathing. My incisions smell weird and I have rashes on both of my wrists. Um, this may be a no brain-er of what I should do but, I was trying to handle things on my own and let my body adjust because everyone's body reacts differently. I would love to hear some thoughts of my OB Help family.

 

Hello friends! My name is Myah. I am from Havelock, North Carolina. I have decided to have the RNY Gastric bypass procedure. I am scheduled to have the procedure on March18, 2011 at 2:55pm. Yes, I have to go almost all day without a drink of nothing!! I am about 3 and one half hours away from the surgery destination. My younger sister Courtney had the same procedure done June 18, 2009; she has an obesity help page too. She inspired me to get it done. I saw her weight fall off and her energy and confidence sky rocket! I hope and pray that I will have the same outcome. Along with being a single mother of a beautiful six year old, I am a full time college student. My ultimate career goal is to obtain a masters degree to be a Nurse Anesthetist. In order to be able accomplish this goal; I felt it necessary to get this weight off of me for the sake of my future, my health and most importantly my son! I am undergoing a complete transformation. Last year, I gave my life to my Lord and Savior and have enjoyed my journey in getting to know Him and trust in Him. I have been abstinent for almost two years and refuse to look back. I am not expecting to be extremely thin like the girls in the magazines. I just want to be comfortable and healthy. I hope and pray after I have dropped the weight that I will have more confidence to start dating, again. I am not rushing the dating thing, but my son has been begging me for a little sister!! Lol. I told him once mommy meets a good man and it feels right and we get married, maybe one day... I am 25. I think it is time to get back out there on the dating field. I do not intend on changing what I believe in or who I am on the inside after the weight loss; I pray every night that I still remain classy and down to earth and to meet a man that will accept me for who I am mind, body and soul. Do not misunderstand that I am doing the surgery to start dating. As mentioned before, I am doing this for me and my family! I assumed other perks would come with the weight loss. I look forward into seeing what this web site has to offer. Please do not hesitate to shoot me a message! I need all of the support that I can get!! Thank you all in advance for any support or input!
