I'M HOME!!!

Got home Friday night late......sore from all of the travel and stuff....swelled to the max I might add too......but, other then that I'm doing ok....thanx for all the prayers.... always, cams

Glad to hear you are home! I was just asking earlier in the day if anyone had heard from you! Congrats!!!

Thank you ,my darling friend......this makes me feel so wanted and know so many cares about me.....hugs to you, Pepper...

I am so glad to hear from you. Sorry you are sore, but it will all seem so worth it down the road. Take care and sip sip and sip. My prayers for a quick and easy recovery to continue. love marie

Thank you, Marie.....is this me or does everyone feel this way when they drink something....I get bulges and feels like it doesnt go down like it should and make me feel like its takes forever to go down....I dont get nausea or anything.....just a slight discomfort....and another thing....why is it taking so long for the bloating to go away....it will be a week tomorrow since surgery? I walk what I can despite the pain the blating gives me.....and once I take the meds for pain...all I want to do is sleep.... p.s. oh Marie forgot to mention but the pic of you makes you look like a with BIG wings.......I knew there was something so unique about you!

I think that is from your new pouch being swollen from being made. maybe smaller sips and warm water always helped me. I cant help much with the bloating think as I had open so didnt have much of that. I know when I had my gallbladder yrs ago. They told me to walk, walk, and walk. So hopefully that will supside after a while. Give yourself about a month to start feeling better and than it just gets better and better with each day. I have so much energy. I still have around a hundred to loose too. I cant imagine having any more energy. Yeah that is the best wedding pic of me. I didnt notice the wings until someone else told me. It is kinda neat isnt it. love ya Marie.

I had open also....I drink propel and water sometimes both does this to me... you're prolly right....its a new pouch thingee that hopefully will assist soon....

I meant adjust soon!...gawd..I cant spell....

Hey Cams ... what are you drinking? I had (and still have) a problem with plain water (apparently others do too as its been discussed on the main board) ... I drink propel ... just make sure you drink slow, and nothing too cold. It will take a while for the swelling of your insides to go down, you had MAJOR rework done ... don't be so hard on yourself, have a little patience ... it takes time. Take care, glad you're back and have finally joined us "losers"! Karyn

I drink propel.....thanx for your input..... Its major and I know t will take some time...some tells me week...which is called the hell week....others tell me few weeks ...and others a month.....Heck! I'll just letting nature takes its course......I guess being an outside person makes me inpatience.... I tried walking more and more each day but, I guarantee its not too stray too far ... still hard to even do this.....I dont walk outside . reason is: I'm scared....a scared of falling.....fear of having an accident...(have to take stool softners because of the meds I'm on....I walk faithfully every day though....to my sister next door. friends house next to hers ....and I also have a niece that lives close to me too...I travel them each day .....this is far as I can go for now....the pain is still there and soreness creeps upon me when I try little task...but, I will make it...Lord's willing and help of my friends here and family....Thanx for the advice hun...I just want to feel like myself again but just in a different light..... ((hugs))
