This and That, oh and Day #4

Apr 12, 2009

                                         HAPPY EASTER, EVERYONE!!!

Well today is day 4 and I'm still finding myself not being able to sleep through the whole night, but I know this will pass, though I was able to stay awake the whole day today. I'm still taking my liquid pain medicine but I think once I talk to Tracey tomorrow (just a phone check in), I might wing myself off of taking it every 4 hours. I still have the gas but it seems to be getting better. I also find myself being able to drink a cup of broth in a setting. I'm not sure if that's good or bad. And also, I'm finally getting in my 64 ounces of water a day!!!!  I'm on liquids until the 21st, and then I'll move to pureed foods for 2 weeks and them mushy for 2 weeks, and then finally being able to eat solids. This is a long process considering I had to do a 2 week PRE op liquid diet. I thought about asking tomorrow if I could move to pureed foods but I already know the answer. lol

My hubby who's also my support person is getting on my nerves. He's on me every 2 hours to walk, use my breathing thingy (you know the thing they give you to breath into to see how well your breathing) and to drink something. He is taking this support person to far. He's also threathened to call Dr. Credi on me for not walkng. LOL

My pastor's wife has meals setup for my family for the next 2 weeks. My church family and friends have been so wonderful to my family and I during this and they have been so supportive of me and my decision to have this surgery. I am truly blessed to be surrounded by all this love and support.

I'm sitting here tonight thinking about the surgery and I'm so happy that I did this and choose the Lap Band. I haven't weighed myself since surgery and I'm going to wait and only weight myself at the Bariatric office. I want to continue to only use the scale that I've been using since December 17th. 

Looking back over the surgery the only thing that really scared me and hurt really bad was my throat from the tube they put down my throat. I was so sore that it was hard to swallow and my voice was semi gone for 24 hours. Other then that, this whole process has been pain free. Oh don't get me wrong, I have been VERY uncomfortable but the liquid pain medicine is doing it's job.  *Knock on wood*

Well I'm rambling, so I'm going to say Good Night. I
 hope everyone had a wonderful Easter!!!

Grace and Peace,
