No problems so far!

May 08, 2007

I'm feeling great! If I didnt have cuts on my tummy I dont think I would believe I even had the surgery. Last night my boyfriend and me went to the nickel arcade SO MUCH FUN! It was really what i needed to get out and just have one on one time with him. I have been staying with my mom so I havent really seen him as much as I normally do. I have been walking none stop, always going to the mall or just out side and enjoying the sunshine. I havent gotten sick at all, and nothing seems to bother my tummy.... I must just be one of the lucky ones. I really want to be healed to go out and swim. I look forward to my real weight loss to start. I haven't lost any weight in acouple days, Im trying not to let it put me down. Its just hard Im working hard at gettting everything in, and walking. I just need to give it time. Well thats the latest and the greatest.
My weight is 220
My goal 160

I had my surgery on April 27th, 2007! Lets just take it day by day:

April 27th, 2007:
I tried to sleep in until 7:30, yeah didn't happen. I'm used to being to work at 7am in the morning so as normal I woke up at 6:30am. It all worked out I made sure I had everything I needed, called some of my family, wrote a note telling my nephew I love him (we are attached to eachother).
Got to the hospital at 9am right on time. Got checked in, and soon enough they called me in to take my weight, hook up my I've, change into that sexy hospital gown. My mom and me were laughing pretty hard because the shoes I wore matched my gown perfectly lol. After this is when the fun really started..... First the nurse gave me a shot in my arm DIDN'T DO A GOOD JOB GOT A HUGE BRUISE, so then here comes the time when I needed my IV started. You can guess when happened, I have good veins, GOT A HUGE BRUISE (I have a picture in my photos). She starts pushing on it and tapping it, I wanted to choke her out. Moving on, I was supposed to go into surgery at 11:15am, yeah the lady before me had trouble so I ended up sitting there for 6 hours. It wouldn't of been so bad, but my mom was walking back and forth, eating, putting lotion on her hands, etc. Yeah she was just alittle scared for me. After 6 hours I got in and everything when great for me. That night I got up every 2 hours to go to the bathroom, not so good. Made my tummy hurt from getting up and down so much. I'm lucky my mom was their so she got up and took me instead of waiting on a nurse.

I was mostly sleeping the day away. They took me down to see if I could start drinking or not. My stomach was to swollen so they wanted me to wait another day. I got up and walked around me floor over and over again.
April 29th, 2007:
Woke up feeling pretty good. I started with water and moved onto protein. Didn't hurt doing down at all, I'm really glad they had me wait a day. I was supposed to go home at 12pm this afternoon but since I started drinking late I needed to stay another day. I got alittle bored cause I wasn't sleeping that much anymore. So my mom pushed my IV and we went all over the hospital, outside, my mom got some food, walked around all 20 floors. Yeah we were gone for about 2 hours. We get back to my room and every one was looking for me lol. I was like I needed something new! Going outside made me feel SO much better
April 30th, 2007:
Today is the day I get to go home. Woke up they gave me some more protein to make sure it was still ok. Then before I could go home they wanted me to try my pain meds. OH MY GOSH 30mg made me pass out for 4 hours. My mom got all our stuff packed up she stayed with me the whole time, made it alot better. I think I got home at about 2pm or so. I was worried being we have about 22 stairs to get to my room. But it wasn't a problem, just took it slow. I went on a walk, then watched some movies. Went to bed pretty early.
May 1, 2007:
This is the first day I felt up to taking a shower. It felt so good to wash my hair. I was really having trouble drinking. More mentally then anything. I didn't want anything to drink. I wasn't hungry, not even alittle bit. My mom talked me  into drinking some water but that was it. I stopped taking my pain meds, the smell made me want to puke. I figured if the pain gets that bad I'll take some. Plus I really didnt like how it put me to sleep. I wanted to still be able to walk around. I'm really getting tired of movies, Im used to working 70 hours a week so to be sitting around was so boring. Walked some more today, I feel so much better to walk. We have 20acres so theres alot of space to walk. Just being out of the hospital made me feel better.
May 2st, 2007:
It was raining all day here, hard rain. So my mom and me got out of the house. We went to Target < I work there so i got to see everyone, Petco, and hollywood video. We were gone for about 3 hours, so nice to get out and do something. I feel like I've been bored FOREVER. I liked seeing everyone at work and seeing how thing were going. When we got home I was so tired, my legs were hurting. I went up to my room and watched some movies. I got alittle more water in today only about 2onces of protein. Not that good but thats all I could make myself drink. I went to bed at about 9pm, I'm only having pain in one of surgical cuts. Not to bad 1 out of 7.
May 3rd, 2007:
I woke up at 4am couldn't go back to sleep. Got up and started drinking water. This is the first day that I have even wanted anything. I got about 2 onces of protein in so far. I think I'll be able to get all protein and water in today. I feel great got a shower in, that makes everyone feel good. Finally got a chance to get on here and let everyone know how im doing and how everything is working out for me.
