One Week Out

Boy... this week sure has flown by!  I got up this morning around 5:15 and thought ... WOW this time last week I was at the hospital.  Now I am on my way to healing (thank the good Lord) and am getting a little stir crazy being in this house!!  This week I have: -Gotten in 50 ounces of water for the past 3 days -Lost the 12 pounds of fluid I gained in the hospital -Lost an addition 10 POUNDS on top of that -Had my first "foamie experience".. do not want a repeat of that -Have not been too good with protein, but Dr. K said to worry about hydration first -Will start tackling protein today -Soreness is almost gone -My inscisions look really good -Been sleeping really well (even with soreness) since I got home.  I cannot sleep on my side yet, but I can sleep pretty well Thank you all for you help and support.  I was FREAKED OUT yesterday when we could not post and such.  I was going through the foamie experience and it was tough not to be able to pop in and ask what I needed to know.  You guys rock!!! 

Hi Jennifer - It sounds like you are doing great! I am so happy for you. I hope when my time comes I do as well as you. The sleeping afterwards will be difficult for me. I cannot sleep on my back, but it sounds like I won't have a choice...atleast for a while. I guess when I get tired enough, I will. LOL Keep up the great work. You're an inspiration!   Mare 

Thanks Mare... I certainly appreciate your words of encouragement!

Congrats to you Jennifer !  You sound like you're doing wonderful!  I hope my time goes as easily as yours has.  Funny you say that about looking back on a weeks time, a week from now I will be banded, home and hopefully getting around good like you are!!  You go girl!!!!!!

Just a few more days...  I know you are getting excited!  And thanks!

Jennifer, Thanks so much for sharing your good experience with us.  I hate to say it, but I have been a bit apprehensive hearing about all the complications lately.  So it does my heart good to hear of your success.  Thanks again.

Thanks Suzanne... I remember hearing quite a few "horror stories' and many tales of complications right before my surgery.  I questioned myself about the whole thing.  I have had a few 'OMG What did I do?' thoughts.. but overall I am glad I went through with it.  :)  The days are ticking down girl!

Jennifer I am so happy that everything is going smooth for you!! I hope when my time comes that everything goes for me like it has for you. Thanks for stopping in and sharing your progress and WOOHOO on the weight loss!!
