I"m Home!!!

Good afternoon everyone. I can' believe how much support and love that has been shown for me. I'm eternally grateful. Thank you Melissa, Michelle, Angie and Dawn for the lovely gifts and the visit. Thank you Ms. Phyllis for the lovely conversation. You're wonderful. Just minor back pain now. I'm on no pain meds and just experienced my first PROTEIN intake it's not like any dreamsicle I've ever tasted hehe. I need to rest now, but know that I love you all and am so happy I have you all as friends and support. See everyone soon. Melony

IT IS WONDERFUL THAT YOU ARE HOME & DOING SO WELL!!!!!!! YEAH, YEAH, YEAH FOR MS MELONY!!!!!!!!!! HOW'S IT FEEL TO BE ON THE HEALTHY, LOSING SIDE OF LIFE? TAKE CARE & SIP, SIP, SIP ... FLUIDS ARE #1 ... PROTEIN #2! GOD BLESS YOU DAWN & NICK

Yay Melony!!! The first week is the hardest, it will get better..especially the protien. You'll get your energy back and some normalcy when you start on your vitamins. Heck your already doing better than I did! I think I lived on the pain meds for at least a week!! Rest up, try to keep yourself from being super woman! Can't wait to see you! Kathy

Thank you Kathy, I feel like I'm falling apart. I feel like I need to burp real bad, but can't. I'm sipping, sipping, sipping. But, me and protein don't agree...........I'm walking and off all pain meds. I'd love to burp! hehe Love you, Melony

Hey Melony, Welcome Home Darlin'!!! No pain Meds?? You're doing GREAT!! God is good! Amen? Remember rest when you need to, and sip, sip, sip, sip, sip. I'm sooooooooooo happy for you You're on the Losing Side!! WoooooHooooo!! Congratulations!!! Tonya

Melony~ I am so glad you are home. It will get better, I promise. The first week was the hardest I think for everyone. Kathy is right about getting your strength back once you start taking your vits...I think it is much easier to get the protein in on full liquids too. Remember the first weekend I was home I could hardly get anything in . I can't wait to see you!!! Just keep walking and sip...sip...sipping!!!! Melissa

Welcome Home Melony!!! You're doing great ... don't forget to TAKE IT EASY this week!!! Hope you can burp soon ... that must be a pain. I'm so happy you made it through the surgery so well! Dawn

Glad you are home and take care of yourself!! Drink your water!! Glad to hear everything went well, and if you want a good protein shake, try Proten Delite. You can find it on the bariatriceating.com website, but I tend to google it and get it cheaper. The very vanilla berry and it is great! Take care! Deborah

Deborah, Thanks for the info! I'm writing all this info down. I hope I'll be able to tolerate proteins. I'm not doing too well with them right now. Thank you, Melony
