OK , I HAD MY SURGERY ON MARCH 10, 2010 (WEDNESDAY) I WAS EXCITED AND SCARED AT THE SAME TIME. THINGS WENT GREAT IN THE HOSPITAL. I WAS IN THE ICU FOR THE FIRST NIGHT AND WAS TAKEN TO THE BARIATRIC UNIT THE NEXT MORNING. I WAS UP WALKING AND I WAS EXCITED TO HEAD HOME. I GOT TO COME HOME FRIDAY EVENING. I MET 3 GREAT WOMEN THERE THAT STARTED THEIR NEW LIVES LIKE ME. IT FELT GREAT TO HAVE SOMEONE THERE KNOWING WHAT I WAS FEELING LIKE.
NOW IT'S DAY 5 AND IT'S BEEN REALLY HARD ON ME. I HAVE BEEN SICK AND TRYING TO GET THE PROTEIN IN AND THE VITAMINS DOWN. WOW HOW QUICKLEY MY STOMACH DOESN'T LIKE THESE. I'VE BEEN OFF MY PAIN MEDS SINCE SUNDAY BUT IM SO TIRED AND SOMEWHAT SORE. BUT I KEEP TELLING MY SELF IT WILL BE OVER B4 YOU KNOW IT. I WILL HAVE A BETTER HEALTHIER LIFE. IT'S ALL GOING TO BE WORTH IT. ON DAY 3 I ASKED MY HUSBAND IF I DID THE RIGHT THING. HE REASURED ME THAT I DID. I WANTED TO EAT WHAT THEY HAD. YESTERDAY I FIXED MY DAUGHTER AND HUSBAND LUNCH AND DINNER FOR THE FIRST TIME AND IT SMELLED SO GOOD. I JUST WANTED A SMALL BITE BUT I KNEW I CAME TO FAR FOR THAT AND I WASN'T GOING TO. SO I FIXED ME SOME CREAM SOUP. I WAS OK WITH THAT CUZ I KNEW IM GOING TO BE HEALTHIER AND IM GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO THE THINGS WITH MY GIRLS AND MY GRANDSON AND NOT BE OUT OF BREATHE. I EVEN WANT TO GO BACK TO PLAYING SOFTBALL SOMETIME IN THE NEAR FUTURE. WOW THAT WILL BE GREAT NOT HAVING PEOPLE SEE THAT HEAVY GIRL RUNNING AROUND THE BASES. WELL IM GOING TO LEAVE FOR NOW. :)
