I'm home from the hospital and doing great!!!!!!

Except for the fact that I really want waffles with butter and syrup, I'm doing wonderful.  My gastric bypass was on Thursday 1/3 with Dr. Enochs and I must say it has been better than expected.  I sayed 2 nights in the hospital but have been off all pain meds siince Friday night.  I walked outside 3 times today up and down my street since it was so nice out.  I know Dr.Enochs has a reputation for doing his surgeries pretty painless but would not belive it unitl I experienced it.  If you have not had your surgery I hightly recommend him.  He was amazing.   It has been a little difficult when the family sits down to eat.  I'm not hungry but feel I should be enjoying the food with them.  Friendds have been so kind to bring meals and they smell yummy.  I just try to distract myself when they eat.  My day will come when I can join them at the table, until then, I'll enjoy my popsicles!::)

Congratulations!  Glad you are home and feeling good. 

Welcome home. I'm glad you're feeling good. Best of luck to you on the rest of your journey to the "new you." Mare

That sounds great! Savor those popsicles... you'll be back at the table with the fam before you know it!

Congrats on your surgery, sounds like everything went beautifully!  We have the same surgeon and I have to agree Dr. Enochs is wonderful, I highly recommend him as well!

Congrats on your surgery and recovery!  I am so glad ot hear things are going well for you..  Just remember to sip and walk and rest.  :)

Welcome home Amy!  And congratulations!  Sounds like you are doing great!

Fabulous you are home and well and walking. WOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOO welcome to the beginging of your new life

I am happy you are feeling well.  I had to do Christmas at my mom's house and then at my dad's.  It was really hard being 1 week post op.  I couldn't eat anything.  It wasn't that I felt hungry, it was that I wanted to be with them and join in the fun.  I did sneak a little gravy at my dad's.  I had 1/2 of the 1 oz cup and watered it down.  I sat at the table with them.  But, it is hard.  In just a few more weeks, you will be able to join them.  And it is all worth the sacrifice we are making.  Be strong.
