IM HOME, ON THE LOSERS BENCH AND PRAISING GOD

Hey everyone, I got home this afternoon, and other than being really sore I am doing great. My surgery day was a nightmare. I was supposed to have surgery at 2:15pm and didn't get into the operating room until 6:30pm, and then the surgery took 1 hour longer because of adhesions and fortunately he did not have to open me up all the way, even though it feels like it LOL. I am trying to stick to walking 5 minutes 2 times a day and I am doing well with my liquid diet. I realized, don't know why I didn't think of this before, my brain is in a way different place than my body. It still things I have a normal stomach and wants normal food. I don't know why it took me by surprise its not like they did a labotomy or something, but it was a good wake up call to the fact that I need to go to meetings and change my brain so I make sure I keep what I lose off for life. For those of you who commented on my Care Page, thank you it means so much to me. I had a couple really bad days in the hospital and to know that people were praying for me and thinking of me meant so much. I love you all dearly and am forever grateful this place is here. Love Trish

I'm so happy you are home safe and sound Trish! Sounds like you had a rather more difficult time than most for a couple days there. I have heard that when surgeons encounter adhesions from previous surgeries that it can be a little rougher road. But every day is uphill now. We'll be checking in on you so keep posting on your progress ok? Now your job is to concentrate on getting rest, exercise, protien and water!!! And I'm right behind you girlfriend. Only FIVE MORE DAYS for me now! WHOO HOOO! Hugs, Marianne C.

Marianne......You are so supportive of everyone here. I see that your surgery is just around the corner.......I'll be thinking of you since you have certainly thought about and prayed for everyone else! Five days is going to fly by.......enjoy them!

CONGRATULATIONS! And welcome home.

Sorry to hear you had a delay with the surgery but glad to hear you are home and on your way to losing! Good luck in your journey and save a seat for me on the losers bench. Hugs Donna

Patricia, Don't let the set back in the hospitol detour you on your goal. You hang in there and you will do fine. This is a hard journey we are all traveling and we can do it together. We are here to support you and help in any way we can. I wish you all the best. JROSE R.
