I made it!!!!

Thsi is La'lani. First of all, I want to say Thanks to all the support I have gotten. I had my surgery on June 1. Damnnnnnnnnnnnn..I'm sore...I've lost 5 pounds already. I've been walking.....slow....but I've been walking. I have six small incisions, and the a small hole where my drain was. I had a terrific nursing staff. I took pics of me while I was in the hospital. I Thank God I made it through. I haven't had any dumping yet. I try to stick to the liquid diet the doctor prescribed for me. This is my first 2 weeks menu.....2tbsp broth.....2tbsp apple juice...2 tbsp diet jello. That's breakfast , lunch, and dinner. I really don't have an appetite. I drink 1/2 cup of protein drink 2x, take my chewable vits, and my chewable calcium. I'm so blessed to have a caring circle of friends from all over. I go back to my doctor on wednesday, that's because he will be out of town. that's why my surgery was earlier than expected. Anyway. I'm on the loser's bench now.

La'Lani, I am really happy for you. I can't wait to be on the losing side. You seem to have done great. Good luck on a speedy recovery. Shannon

La'lani - So glad you are doing well. I am glad you are home and on the way to improvement. I am now almost 4 weeks post op and can definetly say it gets easier. Try to get your rest - especially the first 2 weeks as much as possible and do not over do it. Keep us in touch and Congratulations on making it to the losing side! Donna
