HERE I AM!

Got home Saturday night, feeling kinda crappy, so is my first update. Feel Ok! As good as I'm sure I'm supposed to expect. Having a huge problem with my protein...can't seem to get it down...makes me feel like throwing up. Also having problems with my previcid. Just makes me sick to my stomach. I'm getting all my fluids in (well 48 oz a day) and able to walk around the house. Still in tons of pain, but for now, off the pain meds. Don't like how they make me fell. Surgery went fine, but I did have a hell of a start to recovery. I could barely walk it hurt so much. I'm calling the nutritionist today to see what to do about the protein supp. cause I really can't tolorate it! See Shel...we would have been roomies if you weren't in such a rush! Shannon and Elaine thanks for the visits...they made my days and like I said, there was no way I was able to walk to you! Day by Day! My insision is smaller then I thought, can't wait to get the staples out, possible end of the week! I'll only be on once a day...so I'll visit again tomorrow! I snuck a weigh in 25 lbs down already!!! Love you all!

OMG Jess ur back- i was getting a little worried!!! ur welcome for the visit, hey we had to stick together in a rough time. I am also having problems with the protein, it also makes me want to gag. I am getting about 48 ounces in of fluid but that is it. I was 327 preop, 317 day of sugery, 324- 4 days after surgery and today 314, So I am finally on my way to losing. Thats is great u lost 25 pounds!!!! shannon

Hi Jessica: I'm so glad you are home from the hospital. I'll be right behind you. I'm going in the 13th. How did everything go for you? I hope no complications? How was Dr. Harrington? I hope the protein gets better for you. Remember to keep drinking and rest. Take care. Talk with you tomorrow. Kelli

hey jess- u had dr harrington right? U were in an or room right accross from me because u wanna know why, during my complication dr harrington had to help dr ryder out when he was out of surgery with u and she said that I in or 16 and harrington was across the way in 17. for some strange reason I thought u had dr roye. Well it was nice to know we had great surgeons!!! Shannon

WELCOMMMMMMMMMMMEEEE HOMEEEEEEEE!!! I'm so glad you are home now and losing so much already! That's awesome!!! Hoping that you are feeling pain free real soon! Hugs! L. PS.. what does the doctor have you on now that you are home? liquids right? what kind of protein are you drinking? --- I'm still confused as to what to "take in" right after surgery.

I was so worried about you........HUGS!!!!! I'm so glad to hear you're feeling good. And after all that nonsense during my night in coop, it would have been fun to just sit and gab, although I don't know how well you were feeling just 2 days out. I would have driven you nuts. But I'm so glad you're well. And you're getting so much water in...good for you. I'm not doing so good that way. I eat about 6 ounces a day and I try to get a protein drink in and then I'm doing about half of your water intake. You're doing great. I'm so happy!! Love ya!!!! Shel
