Home & back to work, so far so good!

Jun 29, 2009

OK , well I hit my pre-op  and passed it by 2 pounds. I was 275lbs when I went in for my lapband on Friday! I am still quite tired and gasey!!!! But at work! I am glad I work for a family company and I have support around me while at work or else I would have needed a few more days for sure. All incesion points feel great its mostly the gas! I cannot begin to explain the sensations it gives. So weird that it settles in the left sholder for some and that is where mine is. But overall not bad. I have been kinda pushing things so its to be expected. On Saturday after my late Friday surgery I was to be picked up at the medical center at 645am, We traveled by cab back to the hotel and slept for a few hours then around 10 got up when out for some food ie liquids lol went back and sat around for an hour or so and then off to the Eaton Center shopping and to the airport to catch our flight back to NS from Toronto at 7pm. So I only had tylenol and gasx on Saturday for fear of being too dopey to get around after being kicked out of the hotel lol.
As soon as I was home on Sat night around 11pm I finally had some demerol and gravel (melted in tea) and off to bed.(THis was of course after I cried about the pain I was in to my husband and asked WTF did I do this) I didn't wake up until around 7am. After that I basically woke up every four hours or so walked around a bit, made lunch supper for my daughter etc etc and took some more demorol/graval and back to sleep.
It was very frustrating getting the pills down! But I found the best way was to melt them in a small amount of liquid and my the time I could get it into me I was falling asleep where ever I was.
Any up and at em this morning. My husband was great and getting our daughter ready and taking her to daycare, giving me extra time to have my first shower in three days and get myself ready. Unfotunatlly after my shower I was so drained I feel back asleep on my bed for two hours.
Thank god my dad loves me and is my boss. I was at work shortly after and it was ok. I have now been at work for shorlty over two hours and it feels like two days but other then feeling tired and out of sorts I feel good!
Looking forward to the rest of my journey!
I cannot express how important having support thoughout is important!~ and how lucky I have been so far with this!
