The aftermath

Mar 13, 2011

Well..surgery is past and now the real work begins. I had an extraordinary easy time with the surgery. I was up and moving about with little gas on Day 1 and the next few days were a breeze. I had little to no pain and the nurses called me their "miracle patient". Now..I have to see that I have a huge pain tolerance so that helped. I came home Friday(Day 4) and never popped a pain pill yet. My only pain is from incision from where stapler went in and around the drain area. I have found the mental part of WLS has kicked my butt more but really..how can you expect a big ol fat brain to accept its new portions. I keep letting myself believe that things take time and to allow myself that time. I think it is so important to post on forums..sometimes just having a person validate your feelings makes it better. I look forward to getting rid of this IV bloat and seeing some results. Thanks to my friends on OH for their hand holding in the last year.
