Back at Home

I got home yesrterday around lunch time.  My hospital stay was much easier than I had expected, but I truely think it was all the walking I did.  I made my self do at least 5 laps around the unit at least every 2 hours.

I have also been really suprised at how quickly I get full.  I'm trying to figure out how to schedule meds, fluids, and protein so I can get it all in.  I didn't even come close yesterday as far as protein but got close on fluids.  Today is a new day and I'll try again...so far, so good.

I really appreciate all the advice and tips that were offered here before I went into the hospital.  This board is such a big help.

Oh yea, the chap stick was a life saver!

Happy Sunday,
Renee

Congrats Renee, on the wls.  A few tricks of the trade that has helped me maintain my goal 7 yrs, is I weigh every day, and I keep a special calander, and take a pic once a week, and keep a journel, and scrapbook of your journey.  Now 7 years out, all the plastics, wls journey pics, what a ride and Id do it again in a heartbeat.  My hubby and 2 daughters are at goal also.  Rose

Enjoy the ride!

I have started a journal, but didn't think about the pictures.  Great idea.

Congratulations!!! I wish you a speedy recovery!

Hi Renee!  So glad everyhting went so well.  Now the fun begins!  Keep me updated on how you are doing.
