I'm back!!!!!
Hey everyone - wow! I feel/felt your well wishes! Thank you all so very much!
My surgery was delayed just a litte tuesday morning, and the surgery took about 3 hours... they had to do some clean-up of adhesions from previous surgeries, but Dr Posner is quite pleased. Even went so far as to tell Louis I have good skin tone so I may not have huge loose skin issues (I wish - fingers crossed)... I was quite out of it Tuesday, the pain meds were wonderful! They got me up and walking around 6pm, then once more before bedtime. The next morning I was up once an hour. THAT IS THE KEY!!! I had a leak swallow test in the afternoon, all good, so now I am on liquid diet: protein drinks, diluted juice, broth, sugar free popsicles and jello, skim milk... got a week of this, which will be fine - NO HUNGER PANGS, although my tummies are certainly noisy, lol! Some upper back pain from the gas, but it is nothing I can't handle. I feel great!
To all of you with surgeries coming up and or deciding - you CAN handle this! All the best to everyone! Erin
Hi Erin.. I am so glad you wrote!!! I was wondering how you were doing. I have to tell you that I have been really second-guessing myself lately on this whole issue, and have been wondering if I can do it. I mean, I've failed so many times before, what makes me think I wont fail this time?? Anyhow, what you wrote made me feel a little better and I am encouraged knowing that you did so well. Congratulations Erin!! You worked hard for it.
