i'm post op!

Jun 18, 2010

 so i am officially a post op gastric bypass patient! i still cannot believe it. Now that i'm back home, when i'm not drinking fluids, i feel the exact same as i did before i went into surgery. i have no pain at all. AND there are only 4 small incisions on my stomach. I was shocked. I wanted to ask the surgeon if he really did the operation. The only problem i had was drinking the Glucerna shakes. I had to drink 4 ounces in 1 hour in order for them to send me home. Well, after just drinking water and cranberry juice, the Glucerna felt like i just ate a huge steak and potatoes. It hit me like a ton of bricks. It just felt terrible sitting in my stomach, but i had to drink them in order to go home so i did. Now that i'm home i am going to take my sweet sweet time drinking everything. On another note, I gained 10 lbs during my 3 day at the hospital. I'm  guessing thats from all the liquids they pumped through my veins, but they didn't even weigh me during my entire stay so that was a little weird. But i am so glad to be home, i have one more week off from work then its back to the grind which means i will be going back to the gym. i am so excited to see this weight come off! i;ve been waiting a long time for this!
