The first few days

Nov 15, 2010

I won't lie, I was nervous the day of surgery and right after, wondered, why, why, why couldn't  I do this on my own.  There are millions of people who are thin and healthy, what the heck is my problem.  I also, knew, it was too late, the scares on my belly indicate the stomach was removed, I can't get it back...I can't say can you fix it?  So, since it is gone, I am hoping and praying to be successful like so many of the OH users are. 

Right after surgery, the drugs made me loopy, I didn't make any sense the first 4 hours.  I ate a lot of ice, that was best on my tummy and my mouth was so dry, so that helped.  The first couple times I tried to get up, I really couldn't go far, because I was dizzy; but by the next day that was gone.  For the next couple days, the dry mouth subsided, but I had a lot of chest pain.  It is a week today and the chest pain comes and goes.  I'll be glad when that is gone.  I was very tired too...I think it took 4 days before I stopped napping during the day. 

I am hopeful this will help me become the women I always wanted to be.  I am hopeful this will help me be a better influence to my children.  I am hopeful I can say bye bye burden!
