Whoops. I logged in under my wifes name accidentally.

Sorry, i haven't posted here in the Nov. forum. I did post very quickly the day i came home. I was in a considerable amount of pain for the past few days and spent most of my time sleeping and lying in bed...

Thanks for all the well wishes! Surgery was great...he said it went off without a hitch. Today is the first day that i'm feeling relatively normal.

I'm off to try some walking and what not.

For all the Monday oppers!! GOOD LUCK!!!!!

Only 9 more days until I start my new life. I am so happy!!! I had to let it out so I wouldn't bust. I need to do this every so often. Heather and Dawn I know you are there too!! We will do this together.

I'm feeeling a lot better today. I'm up and around, but not doing too much. I've been sleeping a lot, but some of that is from my pain meds. I don't need them as much anymore though. I haven't seen my cut yet because he told me to keep the bandages on until my next appt, but when I went in for my appt before the surgery he kinda put a pen mark where it was going to be. It looked to be 2 maybe 3 inches, a lot smaller than I thought it would be. Then I have one other hole in my left side for my drain. I've read a lot of people can't stand their drains, but I don't really notice it's there at all. I can only take sponge baths right now, which really sucks. I haven't washed my hair yet because I can't get into a position that won't hurt my incision and not get it wet at the same time.  I'm working on it though. I can bend a little easier today. My binder is what is bothering me the most. I have sensitive skin so I'm getting a little rash from it. I kept it off when I slept last night because I washed it and air dried it. I have to keep it on for 4 weeks, so this will be the most irritating part. I was curious yesterday figuring I would have gained wait since I'm swollen and bloated, but I stepped on the scale to be nosy. I lost 5 pounds. MY mouth dropped ot the floor. So I'm keeping myself motivated knowing it's already working. Now I won't step on the scale until my weigh in days (which I made Sundays since that when I took all my measurements). Hope that was some of what you were looking for. Let me know if there is anything else you'd like to know. :) Take care.
