Surgery Update
Jun 29, 2013
I had surgery February 2013. Surgery went well, no complications. I went in the hospital with a positive attitude. I had a manicure and pedicure weekend before surgery. II also had my hair done. I got up and walked the hospital halls. I got up every morning, sat in chair and bathed. I had excellent nurses, excellent pain management. I also got up everyday and sat in chair. I went home after two days. I had a excellent surgeon!!
First week I felt weak., some pain, some nausea, but I had my liquid pain meds, my liquid nausea med. The next two weeks I had no energy. I questioned my decision. i felt some depression. I had to sleep on my back. But the good news is after 3 or 4 weeks i felt my energy coming back.
At first it was hard to get all my liquids in. I would take a baby spoon, hold my head back and drop the water in my mouth. I found a protein i liked from Walmart. Over all things are going well. I have lost total 50 lbs. I am going to join a gym for exercise. I occasionally take walks . I will get a better exercise routine.
I am happy I had the surgery. It was worth it. I am looking forward to losing more. recently went to my four month check up..doing fine..
