Anna, I got home last night and I feel good as well. I still take the liquid loratab right before I go walking or up and down my stairs. I dont any pain otherwise and I am grateful for that one. I am envious of your weight lost- I was told mine cause I got dehyrdated and they gave me 3 liters of IV Fluids. tell me what you are eating/drinking right now? Are you doing all protein? How about your vitamins? I still get tired easily so I am up for about 3-4 hours and then down for a nap for 1-1/2 hours. Please tell me this is normal??? I am going to keep up with you since we are soclose on our dates. I am happy everything for you went so well. keep me updated...

Congrats! Nice feeling getting back home isn't it! Sounds as if you are handling the pain issues very good. Take it easy in 104 degrees! Continued success to you! Candy

Welcome home...can't wait to join you on the losing side on Thursday!

Well guys I made it. I surgery Wednesday and was released last night around 9pm. Mt surgery was set for 8am and I did not go bac****il 4pm ( that was 28hours with nothing to drink ) And in an hour and a half I was in recovery. Dr. Davis said I had a classic text book surgery. But I was up walking around the hospital at 9pm that night- the nurses freaked but I wanted the foley out lol I had some complication but they were minor- got dehydrated, and place back on IV Fluids with a bolus and at first could not void so i had to be straight cathed- needless to say I made it work the next time. I dont know why I was so dry. They put me on fluids IV wise and i was drinking 1 oz every hour as I was awake. Now being home I am worried that I will do it again. OH YEAH the hospital made me gain 9lbs- if I would have never read that from others I might have freaked out.... Pain not really even in the hospital. It only happens when I was walking so far and trying to move around in the bed and pulling on my stomach it seems. I was nausea the entire time so he put me on the patch and thank god in heaven for this med. If you struggle with nausea as for this before you even hit recovery~ Everyone was wonderful and me being an employee there also helped. lol So here are some of my questions... 1. do I try for the protein right away when I am still on liquids? He said I can advance to full liquid and I dont know what food to choose and try... 2. How do you get the hospital weight off? 3. How far to walk when it is 104 degrees? That is about it plus does anyone else feel dead tired after a tad bit of energy?? So glad to be home and see others made it well and the love from this group... Tanya
