I made it!!

Hi everyone- had my surgery last friday, the 30th, did my swallow that afternoon (boy, did that first taste of ice chips taste good!), and came home just at noon saturday. I even made it through almost a whole day at work today. I've not been brave enough to get on the scale yet- I figure I'll wait till the staples are out. I did make a special purchase, from bariatric eatining.com-- I got the "bariatric survival pack", which has a book (very helpful), with recipies for the early stages, and an assortment of protein drinks, rtd and dry, plus a shaker bottle. One thing the lady who wrote the book recommended taking to the hospital with you is some lip balm- I hadn't thought about taking that, and it sure came in handy. I'll try to keep you all up to date on how it's going. Thanks for being there! Dorothy

Good to hear your doing so good!! It will only get better! I have a few tips for you also, like some things I ate and drank after surgery. I must run now as I have our support group meeting tonight. Hope to see you at a support group meeting soon. Later and Lighter, Beth from NP

Hope you are doing good on your new journey.
