I am here, alive, and on the loser bench!

Hello Everyone, First of all Thank you to everyone, the prayers, thoughts, and vibes  it worked, my husband and I  do beleive in the power of prayers in numbers. I weighed in at 363 so made my weight by 12 pounds, Thank God I am on the computer and be able to type and sit in this chair is because my husband just got done helping me shower and now he is combing out hospital bed head nots out of my hair, this hopefully is keeping my mind occupied in the mean time. I had the Rny woke up from the sleep screaming in pain, he gave me pain medication for a little bit then he said I was being transported back to my room and they would give me pain meds there, he said it would be a few mins, hell it turned into more of a hour in pain, when I got to my room, the nurse said what is your pain I screamed a 10 and then heard my family in the room. couldn't really see much intill like a hour later, I did have to have a central line (because of blowing Ivs and health problems) and they put in a Iv as well. They had to kinda put the breathing tube in while I was awake by taking away my gag reflux and making me gargale and swollow this nasty stuff,  he said I prob wouldn't remember it but I did.  They had me on morphine, wasn't working, so they put me on demeral, and it worked but not enough so then they gave me a shot in my butt to help, AND THAT DID THE TRICK, I was dead druged, but no pain and I was able to walk. Got out of the hospital yesterday at around 4pm mountain time and was in pain about 8pm they gave me generic norco liquid, it makes me very tired, only took it once today. I have lots and lots of presure today, hard to tell when hungry or full, staying with 4 oz protein drink and 1 oz snack (liquid) between routatiing everything 2 hours,  I do feel like  I have to releive some gas, BAD my husband has been so good to me running here, foing there, grabbing this and that. he went and got me gas x disoving strips I have taken two before the shower and not much has releived today, had very tiny diarrea, (sorry if two much info).  I do have LOTS of discomfort and having a hard time sitting and getting up my self, did take a small walk today and it was hard, real hard. I know things will get easer, The protein is better now since surgery, I tried the one my surgene gave me and I like it, not enough tobe on my 10 top fav thaings but its okay. I gotta get out of this chair, will report more later when I am able to do more on my own. thanks for everyone that called me at the hospital, and came and visited me.  Thanks to my Obesity help angel Annie for sending neautiful flower, and for my other angel reporting things back to you all,  God bless I am going to rest. Kristy

Yeah Kristy!!! It's good to hear you are doing well, despite some of the pain problems. Hopefully that is better now?? I don't remember much from my hospital stay, it's all kind of a blur, so hopefully you will forget all about the pain once you are out a while. Of course then you will only be thinking about how healthy and wonderful you feel!! good to hear you are doing well, keep us up to date!! Pam

Hey Kristy,

Glad to hear your home. Remember the more you move (hard as it may be) the better you'll feel! For the gas pains, nothing worked for me except walking. I wasn't doing any mile hikes mind you, but I did walk a few houses down the street with hubby every morning, slow, but it felt so much better to move. So remember - walk, walk, walk and sip, sip, sip! Best wishes to you!
