Hey Alicia, I was cleared Friday to go to the next stage of eatting but I been worryed about trying new things. But I think I will give it a try today!!! Have a Great Day!!!

When does everyone return to work?? Traci

Hello everyone! Boy oh boy am I struggling! I was getting around 40 ounces of fluids in but I had a setback over the weekend and now I'm starting from scratch again. It's almost noon and I'm only on 16oz. This is really hard for me. My incisions all look really fine, but as someone else stated the right side of my belly is in pain. Sometimes it doesn't bother me, but when I sit or stand too long boy oh boy does it hurt. This Friday I will be three weeks out and I am looking forward to seeing how I feel by then. I feel better than I did when I came home from the hospital and even better than I did the first week. But I still have a way to go. I still get tired easily and have been taking a nap during the day sometimes. So that takes away from getting the water in. Also stopping 30 minutes before and after meals sometimes hurts too. But I have been following that rule pretty good. I have no idea how much weight, or not, I have lost. I don't go back to the surgeon's office until 9/25 so I'll find out then. Hope everyone is feeling well!

I am two weeks out and once I take my walk and do anything around the house, I pass out from exhaustion. Anyone else having exhaustion? My surgery was open, so people tell me that is normal. I want my energy back. Hugs, Trish

I am so sorry you went through that ordeal. I pray you recover quickly and without any more severe pain from now on. The Lord is watching over you, and you are blessed to have such a terrific doctor. Be safe. Remember to sip and walk. Hugs, Trish
