I'm Home

I was able to come home from the hospital last night. The arm is sore, but the REAL pain is in the hip where he took the bone graft. Surgery went well, and I should be starting PT next week. This is going to be a lot harder to recover from than my RNY, though. And I gained 11 pounds. Please somebody tell me it's fluids and will go away quickly??? Good to be home. Hope you all have a good weekend. Deb

Hi there Deb sweetie How are you feeling? I hope you are OK....You will recover.... We got through the worse so this will be a cinch for you... I am sure that your weight gain is fluids.... Keep that head up and keep I am leaving for my Philly Bash this morning and will keep you in my prayers for a speedy recovery. LORRAINE

It's fluids and it will go away quickly Deb, so glad you are home and that you are on the road to recovery Jackie

ouchie! sorry to hear your hip is sore.... I know this must really suck for you but better to do it now and get it over with! and as far as the 11 lbs definitely FLUID! UNLESS you were eating over 2000 calories a day?!?! My scale says I can still have around 2000 calories --I think it might have been 2300?? and MAINTAIN my current weight. SO the gain has to be from something else.

Hey Deb, hang in there!! You'll be all healed up and ready to go before you know it! By the way, our bodies always gains fluid when you have surgery. It will go away! Jill

Thank You All. It's so nice to be back with my December buddies. Deb

I am sure you already knew it was fluids but we are all so scale conscious. I am stopping now to pray for you again. You always have such a good attitude, which in my mind goes a long way to recovery, that I am sure you will do well. God bless you today! I always feel that God puts a treasure in each and every day to make our day happy and good, we just have to take the time to look for it.
