I HAD SURGERY! OH.MY.GOD. THANK U

Dec 04, 2011

Hello beautiful readers!Can't you tell how my mood has changed from my previous blog post and this one, lol.I am so eternally grateful that surgery went well! I cheated on my preop diet like a madman, but if someone is reading i would tell them for peace of mind, do not cheat! I think all the anxiety had me stressed beyond belief, so i would say dont put yourself through it. BE STRONG! the more you cheat the more the possible complications, and longer hospital stay, and no one wants that! *well, i'll be honest, i enjoyed my hospital stay! It was a mini vacay, and the nurses were amazing*

I dont even know where to begin, but the 10-15 minutes before enetering the surgery room was beyond nerve wrecking, but it must have been God, because once i layed in the table and made a prayer, and i swear i was so calm *no it wasnt the anesthesia, they havent done that yet, lol* but its like i blinked and woke up, and it was done. I still smile when i think about it. Now the pain was nothing to smile about. it was about an 8/8.5 on the scale of 1-10. The morphine was amazeballs, and the tylelenol w/codein worked well so i was fine. Getting the lquid down was a CHALLENGE. 1 OUNCE OF LIQUID TOOK ME 1.5 HOURS TO CHUG DOWN! I was stunned but also in very much pain. I'm glad a fellow patient told me, walk before drinking so all the gas in the stomach can come out, so drnking the water wont be as harsh. GOD SEND! i have been walking 30-60 minutes a day; slowly, but im getting it done. The gas is trully more painful than the actual incisions which is crazy. i was told not to take the gas x until furture visits with my doc, but ooh i cant wait. Now Im worried about the lack of nutrients i am getting. Water and tea seems to be the only thing agreeing with my new tummy. i tried jello and it felt like a bomb EXPLODED, so i'll keep trying but everyday i believe i will get better. I have so many things to say regarding this experience, its been up and down, but i promise i will try all my best to keep ya'll informed. Its hard because, im drugged up all the freaking day, im drowsy, and my computer broke down, so videos might take some time, bare with me, they will come!

Funny thing, i havent been weighed for over a month! what  the hell! i forgot, maybe i should buy a scale, lol WOW.
