I made it! I am home

I made it through surgery , (I was scared I wouldn't!) I am now home and driving. It is a challenge for me getting calories in because I am not hungry and I am at about 200 for the day. I am sore and move slow .. hope this passes soon. I have already lost weight  my family decied to go on "vacation" while I was in the hospital they are all pieces of work if you know what I mean.. but I praise God for my husband.. and my OH family and my friend Denise. Thank you guys! I look foward to being on the losers  bench and enjoying the new side of  life.

Blessings, Valarie

Hi Val, It's good to hear from you. I can't believe you are driving already. You did better than me. You sound good. Sorry to hear your family decided to bail at a time like this. I'll be two weeks out on Tuesday and this one incision site still hurts terribly. I am going to go look for some adult liquid tylenol tonite or tomorrow. I have one dose of prescription pain killer left and I seem to need by the end of the day. I also found out I have to keep my binder on or my whole midriff area hurts like the dickens. I'll try to give you a call tomorrow. Take care and god bless you, Denise

Hi Valerie!! I'm glad you're home safe & sound. Now it's time to enjoy the ride!!

YEA VALARIE!!!!  I am so happy that everything went well!! I am sure you will be back to yourself in no time. My surgery is scheduled for the 18th. I am getting so excited and nervous. Any dumping yet? I am nervous about that also. Talk to me girl, let me know some details! So glad you are home!  Malissa

Valarie, i am so proud of you!! You are on the losers bench! I knew you could do it! Kepp us posted and let us know if you need anything! Colleen

Valarie, (and Marie) welcome to the losers side! The soreness and lack of calories will get better as you are swollen, just be sure to get your liquids in. Good to hear from you.

Hi Valerie! I have been wondering how you are doing.  I'm so glad you are up and around and driving.  Don't worry about calories right now, just get those liquids in.....you shouldn't do or go anywhere without something to drink!!   Keep me posted on how you are.

Well,  I made it.  Tomorrow will 2 weeks post op.  I had a terible time with gas pain.  I am trying my best to drink all the liguids that I can.  I am now on Semi-puree.  This is making me feel better..  The people at St. Vincents' know their stuff.  I praise God for my sister, because she stuck right with me during the rough times.  I hope that I will be approved to drive after seeing the Doctor next week.

Glad to hear all us post ops are doing well (i'm 2 weeks today). Now the real "work" begins! LOL Joni
