Topic: I'm home too!
I got home this afternoon.
I still hurt a bit on the left side, but I've read that's normal.
Still having a difficult time getting in the full 90 of protien...I've made it to 80 both today & yesterday, but I've gotta work harder on that.
Doing good with the vitamins. 
I'll be happy when I get my voice back.  The intubation did some damage to my
vocals.  People have been calling me squeek since surgery.
Getting in the two ounces at meals is better since I got home cause I have nifty
baby food. 
I've found out that babyfood bananas, which I used to love, are too sweet.
I was worried that my 2yr old daughter, Sophia, would try to hop on my stomach.  I just showed her my stomach and explained that mommy had "Bad Owwies" and she hasn't tried to climb on me.  she's a smart cookie.

Well, I'm going to make myself pace around the living room 5 or 6 times.

Hi everyone,

Just to let you all know...I came home late yesterday afternoon.  Surgery was a success.  So far, so good.  I'm just sore and tired.  My temp is up and down - one minute I'm hot, the next I'm cold - this must be from having surgery?!  I'm on colace, when should I be expecting a bm???

Thanks for all of the well wishes.

Hope everyone is doing well.

Good luck Perry!! Make sure you walk a lot and if you just come back from the walk a good thing is just to stand by your bed and rock back and forth. I was burping a lot and the chest pain goes away. When I laid down I felt so bloated.

I just saw who your doctor was. That is cool! He and his father seem so knowledgable and really concerned about their patients' welfare. Mine was just as good, but he doesn't have a TV show. LOL!

The Mississippi Board has 2 posters who are having surgery next Tuesday, September 16th.

AnitaHeath (http://www.obesityhelp.com/member/anitaheath/) is having the RNY done in Birmingham (UAB) by Dr. Ronald Clements.

Jay Harper (http://www.obesityhelp.com/member/jayharper09/) is having the RNY done in Pascagoula (Singing River Hospital) by Dr. William Avara.

They are both friends of mine and I know both of them would covet your prayers for safety and success in their surgeries.

Tammy

Woohoo!! It is just about here!!  I as well will be thinking of all of you.  I will not be home until next Saturday at the very earliest if everything goes alright, since I have to stay in a hotel for 2 extra days after being discharged, incase I have any problems, because I am so far away from anyone who specializes in this surgery.  But I for sure will check in when I can after I get home.   Tomorrow I start my 2 day liquid diet.  I have plenty of popsicles and just made some jello up this afternoon.  Tonite I will feast on homemade pizza and bday cake.   Best of luck to each and every one of you!!!
