Turned 30 on 12/12 had surgery on 12/14...I'm HOME!!!

I had a GREAT birthday!!! Cant believe I'm 30 now...I had such a wonderful time...will post pics soon....went to a Greek spot, and danceed the night away on the tables, learned some new moves from the belly and fire sword dancers...I really let loose wanted to celebrate turning 30 and my new beginning.  I don't think i have ever danced that hard before in my life...then two days later I HAD MY RNY with Dr. Burrowes...everything went well just a little pain which is under control with my meds, and a litte gas (but it is passing thru) no major pain just been sleepy that's why I didnt post sooner...I am recoving well family and friends are very supportive and helpful been in the bed relaxing and walking as much as possible and sipping on my fluids, but it is FREAKY not being hungry, or maybe I have never been hungry all the times I would stuff my face and now I have to teach my brain to understand that!!!!

Oh one last thing, hospital I had my sugery at is under construction so they are doing all patient pick up thru the food court...had to sit for a good 10min and smell Blimpie, Chic-fil-a and Starbucks...it was a reality check for my mind and this journey I have started!

Congradulations !!!!!!!

~Hijack~ Janice....how are you doing?  Is your little problem any better. Getting any relief with the Flaxseed Oil or other remedies?

Hey Lisa,

Thanks for asking about my "little problem"..........It's a little better.  I'm making a better effort to drink more and more water, and that certainly helps.  I'm getting in more fiber in my diet, but as someone on the board pointed out, you really have to increase your water intake to get things flushing.  So it's still a work in progress and movement.  I don't know that I will ever be "regular" like most folks, because I never was pre wls, but I'm grateful for all movement.............I know that's way TMI..!!

Happy Holidays,

Janice

Glad to hear it's better. I know that I have been doing MUCH better with my water BUT I know that the Flaxseed "OIL" capsules are a tremendous help to me.  "IT" just "SLIDES" on "OUT"!!!  Now I think I beat you with TMI. 

Happy Holidays to you too Janice!

Glad to hear that every thing went well for you ma

Congratulations!!! Happy Belated Birthday!!!Thats deep about the food court entrance...definitely a memory to keep as a part of your WLS journey.

Happy belated birthday to you and congrats on your surgery!  You and I have similar cir****tances.  My rebirthday and birthday are two days apart too!

 Congrats on your surgery and birthday!

My birthday is also 12/12 and I had surgery four days before my bday last year.
