<b>I AM A POSTIE!!</b>.....Hello Everyone. One week ago today, I made it to the other side! Let me tell you, it has been rough. I had lap RNY and I can honestly say that I had no pain! I mean when I would move around in the bed to get comfy, there was definite soreness, but never actual <i>pain</i>........My problems have 100% been emotional. I was under the impression that I would not be craving certain foods- or at least not yet. WRONG! It has been really hard for me. I know I am fat, but I honestly never thought I had a food addition. Well, when it comes to certain foods, guess I do. Mornings seem to be my worst time- I cry and cry......Oh, wait. My WORSE problem was that EVERYTHING was very salty, including water, which I love. I was so upset because I had never read anything about that in Q&A. I am thrilled to say that today is is gone. After finally talking with someone about it, we have unofficially concluded that its the anesthesia (she had a diff surgery, not WLS)....Today was much better, but it is due in part that my hubby hurt his back yesterday and had a seizure while in the hospital. Thankfully his mom is still here in town and my mom is around the corner because we have a 3 1/2 year old (and a 14 year old). I had to force myself to not fret over those things that had been so bothering me. Hubby is fine now (but really sore!)....Tonight I had chicken stuck and literally thought I would die. The pain is excrutiating. After about 15 (and lots of water), it went on through.....Well, off to bed I go. I hope each day gets better and better....Hugs to you All!
