I am on the losing side

Hey everyone, I am still in the hopsital, I should be going home tomorrow, my loving husband brought his computer and I am feeling pretty good, so I thought I would post. Surgery was great. I was pretty miserable Tuesday, Wednesday and yesterday. Today I have felt the best so far. I passed my leak test today and just had sf jello (praying it was sugar free). Still have on appetie, if you can belive that. If I can make it thus far, anyone can. I will post tomorrow when I get home from the hospital. God Bless everyone!!

Eileen, how wonderful. How neat that you could post from the hospital. Mary

Congratulations on your surgery Eileen! It's great to hear that you are feeling better. And yes, you have made it to the losing side!

WOW ! Thats awesome!! Glad to hear things went well!! Get your rest and make sure to keep us all updated!! Take Care ~ Jess

I did have to go back and thank everyone for their support and love as I went on this journey. I was a basket case before hand and up until the rolled me away. I have to thank Dayna Cass and Judy Burgess for coming to visit me yesterday and brining me flowers and a bunch of "goodies". They both had their surgery on September 9 and have both lost over 40 lbs in 8 weeks. Just fantastic for them!! I am on pain meds, but I had open and also I take them because my back is hurting from this hospital bed and the chairs and the pain ends up making it harder on my incision. I am on Roxicet which is a liquid pain medicine...I like it so much better than the moprhine. Anyway, if I can do this anyone can. I am still taking baby steps, but I am on myway!!

Eileen, you are just too cool! Posting from the hospital like that... I'm also three days post-op and feeling good! Will stop back later with more details when I have more energy. Otherwise, feeling good after my first shower home and in my pj's and slippers. Have noted a feeling of 'restlessness' whenever I attempt to do something (read, watch t.v., etc.) but I guess that's normal after all the morphine in the hospital. We filled the prescription for the Tylenol w/codine before we left the hosptial but found, except for a slight headache this morning, that I really don't have any need for it. Yea! I can proudly say, "I'm a loser now...and YOU can, too!" See you all later!!!

Glad to see you Eileen I think I'll be posting from the hospital as well Can't wait to have you back April
