I'm home!!

I had surgery wednesday at 9:30 am and apparently it went very well, Dr. Vergis said it was textbook...hopefully no complications to come!  I feel okay, just get tired very quickly.  Did anyone feel a bit of the blues couple days following the surgery?  That`s kind of how I feel right now...not sure why...shouldn't I feel this relief and excitement to start this new period of my life?

Thanks for listening...I guess I`m feeling a bit lonely right now....Thanks Sondra for your visit!! and I hope Michelle, you're doing better!

 I am finally out of the hospital!!! Will be in wpg for a whole longer. Am also easily feeling very weak and tired. But I do know recovery will be slow as I was anything but text book. 

 Dazee_girl sorry to hear you had difficulties,  hope you're doing better now.  Keep us posted and take things easy.  

Totally normal to have the blues...I had the indigo, navys and almost blacks...LOL Just keep an eye on it. I was also lonely, but it was because I was stuck in my bed! I was pretty sore and I was still nursing my youngest...so I layed in bed and became her personal buffet. I do wonder if that helped or hindered?..LOL I quit 3 weeks after because she was "over it'....so was I!

I think it took me about 5 weeks to feel really good and not tire easily. I wasn't textbook, but I wasn't a hard case either. Now I look back and am SO THANKFUL!!! Enjoy the process, it's different for all of us but it sure does serve a purpose. Teaches you a lot about you. You are now going into "uncharted" territory...scary, but oh so necessary and actually pretty fun at the end of the day.

I have been so busy this summer with my kids and family stuff that I can't wait for the next Meet N Greet so I can hopefully get to it!! Meet all of the new "losers"

Thanks Kokonut...I try to think far ahead at all the benefits but of course my mind is sometimes stuck in the moment and have a hard time visualizing how this is gonna go.  The encouraging thing now is the scale...I am down 15 lbs and haven't been like that for quite a while.  It's not lots but its something!!  Yesterday I was thinking:  What did I do?  I'm so limited...I don't know how I'm going to do this?....but I know it's just that I'm not well and weak.

I know it will be good....no regrets!

 I think what you are feeling is very normal! Not only did you go through with a big decision and surgery , you have hormones shifting with the weight loss. 

I remember having some " what the hell did I do ? " feeling a couple weeks after the surgery but I am very happy with my decision 

Thanks very much Rainyone...it does make me feel better and that it's probably all normal.  I'm looking forward to the next couple of months!

 Glad to hear you're home and feeling well except for tired and a bit blue.  You said you thought you might be feeling lonely, are you alone or is there someone with you?   I know the doctors were pretty adamant about not being alone at the start of your recovery.  I didn't experience this but I was much more tired than I ever expected to be.  But that passed with time and lots of rest.  Take it easy and slowly things will become more familiar.  

Thanks Alle!!  I was probably alone too often but I had standby people just in case.  My parents and sister came to visit today and it felt good to laugh and be like old time sakes.

Thanks for the encouragement!
