Information about my surgery

Sep 27, 2008

I finally had my surgery on January 9th, 2009.  The only issues I had were from the meds...had a bad anxiety attack and had to stay in the hospital another day.  The doctor said the pain meds they gave me had a bad reaction.  Otherwise, all is going fairly well.  I came home 2 days after surgery and was really sore.  After about 4 days, I felt much better and was up and around.  I did make sure I walked every day even though I was sore.  Today has been 8 days and I am down 11 lbs.  I started at 269 and am now 258.  And that was as of my first post-op doctor visit 5 days after.   A lot of my friends and family can tell I have lost weight and that feels good.

The first weeks no food, just liquids was horrible.  I saw others eating and couldn't eat.  But I followed the rules and just sipped on water, broth, and crystal light.   Don't think I will ever have broth again.  Now I am on mashed potatoes and oatmeal.  They both went down well.  Its hard to tell if I am full or not.  I do get hunger felling too!  I just make sure I stay away from others eating to help because it is difficult not to eat!

I will update again soon!  So far soooo good!
