2 days post op VSG thanks for all your support

Thanks to all you have been messaging me.. day of surgery was ok, since i was stoned out of my mind...day two, yesterday was horrible, since the spinal block wore off.  today it much better and looking to go home tomorrow and sleep in my own bed next to my husband David and my puppies Kira and Poppi.

can not sip more than 2 sips at a time without feeling restricted.  each day will be better and i am excited to enter this stage of my new life.

Glad to hear all went well!!!!  Say yes to drugs!!!!   And have a safe trip home!!

Welcome to the losing side, Zak! Before you know it the pain will be gone.

Have a safe trip home, Oh you might be there now.  There really is no place like home (especially with pain killers) so get some rest.  It has been fascinating seeing all this through your eyes, and I look forward to seeing you flourish from here, good luck Zac.

WTG ZAC!  I'm soooooo excited for you!!!

Hey Zac,

Try warm/hot drinks.  I could not do cold drinks....could not get enough in.  So I tried a decaf tea....and wow....I could sip a whole cup.  Turns out my new tiny tummy prefers hot drinks to cold....still does.  Although I can drink cold ones now as well.

Make sure they are decaf though, as caffeine is a diuretic and we don`t want to be flushing out the precious liquids we fight so hard to get in.  So maybe try decaf tea or coffee.  If you use milk or sugar/sweetener in small amounts that is ok too.

Glad to see you here, as well as the VSG board.

I hear you on the getting home in my own bed....I missed our puppies...Holly & Hershey and I had to tell Beth (partner) that I missed her gentle snoring....so now....I have to suck that up....ha ha ha   I told her I did not know what I was saying....as I was under the influence of some wacky Mexican pain killers....ha ha ha.

If you need anything....don`t hesitate to ask.
