One Week Out & Feeling Blah!

Dec 14, 2010

1st week out and I feel crappy.

Life is as busy as it has always been. I was discharged from the hospital on Sunday without having to take any Diabetes meds! Already and no more shots! YAHOO!!!

However I came home to a house full of sick kiddies. So I spent today sitting in the pediatrician's office, picking up prescriptions and purchasing some groceries. Thank God my best friend has beed with me and helping me out out 150%. Tomorrow I have my first post-op visit with Dr. Chasen, who by the way took excellent care of me. Him and his team at Trinity Hospital of Augusta are absolutely amazing. I could not have selected a better team. Period. My surgeon rocks!

There is so much adjusting to do. No matter how many seminars, classes, books, blogs. etc that I have read there is nothing that could have ever really prepared me for WLS except for actually going through it. I am not complaining don't get me wrong because I have a great support team behind me and for that I am so grateful. Right now I am feeling sore, uncomfortable and quite miserable. Oh yea and the smell of food cooking is driving me damn near insane! Thank God I haven't had to do it or I'd really be a mess! I am trying at best to get all of my liquids down, which is no easy task. Each day I try harder to get more liquids down.

I still thank God for what he has done for me, even though it feels so difficult and as though I have so far to go right now, I am very thankful!

Like Dr. Chasen says, "This is only round 1 of a 15 round fight!" And with that my journey continues...
