I'm home

I just arrived home this afternoon, I was released from the hospital last night about 6:30, we decided to stay a leave this morning. I stopped three times on the way home to walk around the rest stops. This was in between sipping on my total of 96 oz. of fluids for the day( 64oz's of water and 24oz's of protien). All is going pretty good, the pain is not intolerable and fluids are going in ok! I had no complications w/ surgery. Thanks to all my supporters here at OH It means a lot to me. Hugs, Phyllis Gilbert

Heck, I might even come your way!!! Who wouldn't want to spend the afternoon with such a sweetheart like you shopping!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope you have a peaceful recovery filled with love, joy, rest, smiles, hugs and hope for a beautiful new life. My fondest memories are of my new life, and none of my other self I left behind. Hugs to you sweet lady, and welcome home, and, TO THE LOSERS BENCH!! many hugs and wishes of joy Stacey W

HI Stacey, Thanks for the welcome home. I have been trying to take it easy. I have taken a few slow, short walks around the neighborhood. I between sips of course. I am so looking forward to meeting you too. Doing something fun sounds good to me when we get together. Thanks for the hugs, Phyllis Gilbert

I know it must be great to be home. Sounds like things are going very well. I'm happy for you and wish you continued success.

Hi Patty, It does feel good to be home. I am trying real hard to get a good footing and foundation with my WLS journey. Hopefully, I can keep going this good. Thanks, Hugs, Phyllis Gilbert

Wow Phyllis I am so happy for you being home now. I am only 3 days away till mine and so excited and scared at the same time. Had last consult with Dr until that morning and all is set this time. I cant beleive its really going to happen. Any hoo glad your home and doing well. Keep us posted. Gentle hugs to you. Save room on the losers bench for me. lol hugs Debbie M

Debbie, Thanks for the welcome home I can certainly understand the mixed emotions. I had a couple of days feeling like that too. Your time will go in quickly, I am so happy it is finally going to happen for you. Thanks for the gentle hugs, and I will be praying for you on the 20th for a swift and uneventful recovery. I have already saved a good spot for you on the losers bench. Hugs to you, Phyllis Gilbert

Hi Phyllis- I can't believe you are able to get all that fluid down. That is terrific. Were you at Beaumont Hospital? That is where I had my Lap RNY on 6/1/06. I am glad you are doing well. Each day you will get a little stronger. Keep smiling. Be Well, Romey

Hi Romey, I am working on it dilligintly. I have got most of my protien in for the day, but I still have about 20 oz's of water yet to drink tonight. I had my surgery at Spectrum Hospital, Blodgett Campus in Grand Rapids. I look forward to felling better and better. Hope all is going well with your journey. Hugs, Phyllis Gilbert

Hi Phyllis so happy you are home and doing great!! Wishing you the best on your recovery! Hugs Judy
