I survived Thanksgiving! I know everyone else here is either experience a post-op holiday or a liquid diet holiday, and i congratulate everyone for doing their best! I avoided all the goodies and diet coke. I'm still on a puree diet, but i took some risks with chewing a green bean to death (i just can't handle puree green bean). Turkey is one of my favorites so it was great to have that - and i later had some leftover turkey soaked in fat free gravy and just chewed really well. YUM my 'dinner' turkey was blended.

I've lost about 20 lbs since surgery, and dressed to show it off. my 95 year old grandmother (who didn't know about surgery) said i looked great and to keep up the good work. I was just excited to wear an XL shirt from Old Navy.

how did everyone else do?

Hmm, As I type this I am STILL sucking on my cpap machine and yes I am at work, sucking on my CPAP machine. arrggggg.

Funny thing is, I am starting to argue with it as I clock my hours. Several times I lost it cuz I am having a hard time keep a good seal.

I swear they are doing this to test my endurance or make me nuts.

Sorry to hear your recovery is slow. are you having trouble staying hydrated or is the pain to much? Please tell me now so I can change my mind. I really hate pain. I am such a wuss wen it comes to pain.

Not to mention and you can't tell anybody this cuz I dont want anybody knowing my secret. SHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! But I am playing Santa on the 24th. 6 days after my surgery.
I get to drive around town on a fire truck.

So please dont tell. I want to the kids to believe that I am Santa. I absolutley love the looks on thier faces as I am riding by.

Topic: RE: 8 days post op and .....

Mine hit the day after surgery. A bit early. Of course, it wipes me out normally, so the recovery process has been a bit harder.

I have noticed that it's still hanging around, so it's going a bit longer than the norm. It can stop any time now. :)

Well I would like to know where yall are getting all this energy b/c I had two surgerys 11/17and and emergency surgery on 11/18, and I have no energy to do a hole lot of nothing..... I am having a hard time getting things down, I have to force myself. I also have a lot of hot flashes.....what is this all about anyone know.

I had my surgery on the 19th. I had a LOT of hot flashes about 3-4days out. They were joined by their friend overwhelming nausea. :) Fun times. They didn't last long and I haven't had one in a few days, so maybe it's just a quirk. :)

So glad to hear that you are home and recovering. :) I had my lap band the day before you, and recovery is a bit harder than I thought it would be. But, it's going. :)

I will be praying for a speedy recovery. :)
