I'm home

I was released about 3:30 Thursday afternoon. It is so good to be home. I'm sore but other than that I feel pretty good. Fluids have not been a problem as I was a big water drinker before surgery. I just have to remember to sip instead of chug. Hubby fixed me a pureed scrambled egg with cheese for breakfast this morning and let me say, "Dang, it was good!!!" One of my techs (Robyn) in the hospital had the RNY 4 years ago and she was wonderful to talk to. She says it is such an inspiration for her to get to work with WLS patients. Robyn was a real sweety and gave me some good tips too. The tech who came in on Wednesday morning (Sydney) and gave me a sponge bath is a GODDESS. I couldn't thank her enough. I felt like a new woman when she was done. Clean bed, clean gown, clean me - I was a happy camper. Anyway, I'm glad to be home and glad to be on the healing side of surgery. Looking forward to the other changes to come.

Welcome home Susan, congrats on becoming a loser. Keep up the good work & sip sip sip. Carly

Yeah! I'm glad to hear that you are doing well and I'm so happy that you seem to be surrounded by some really great people. Welcome to the losing side! Angela

It's amazing to me that some of you guys are already on soft foods! I'm glad your surgery went well and you are home resting. Chele

Chele, I'm not on "soft foods" yet. Hubby scrambled the egg then pureed it with a small amount of milk and cheese. It was the consistancy of thin cream of wheat.

Congratulations! I had surgery a week before you and can appreciate all you had to say about bathing, learning not to chug, and the egg! Best wishes on your recovery and enjoying your new life. Kim

Welcome home Susan I'm glad you're doing well. Regards and hugs, Ronna
