About 10 hours Post-Op!

I've peed three times (only teensy amounts) graduated from moistened green sponges on a stick to ice chips, and gone for 1 short walk around the nurse's station and 1 walk around the unit.

I'm working hard on staying aheard of the pain by asking for the meds before the pain becomes an 8 or 9. I'm dozing and using the mouth swabs frequently.

The adventure continues!

31 lbs. lost before surgery! My goal is 150lbs. My surgeon's goal is 110lbs. I just can't imagine that weight right now. Maybe someday . . .

Woo hoo you are on the other side, yay. Glad you are doing so well. Aren't those sponges the best and most awful thing all at once! I ate the ice chips out of their cup even when they told me not to. Rest up and keep us posted. Hope you have a restful night.
