Thanks for your prayers
Hi Everyone, Well I'm back home, feeling pretty good. I want to thank everyone for their prayers and well wishes for a smooth surgery and that it was. Hardly no pain. I've had more pain from the gas than anything. My port incision hurts some, that's because he had to sew that to the muscle. But I've been trying to walk and eat slow and small amounts and sip my liquids. It's going to take a while to learn this new way of eating.
Now all I need is prayers to help me follow the program and lose the weight.
Thanks a bunch,
Hugs, Peggy
Peggy,
Welcome home. I know exactly how you feel. I had my surgery on 4/7 and came home on 4/11. I think gas pain has been my only real pain. Mostly I have had soreness from the sites for the laparoscopy. Yes, the new way of eating is different.
Good luck to you in following your program. We must remember that this is a lifestyle change in order for us to be successful. Others have done it, so can we.
Peggy, welcome back! I'm so glad things went well for you. Yes, it is a new way of life and sometimes a difficult one in the beginning. Those first few weeks, I thought, "Gee, you have to be a rocket scientist to figure this out - don't drink for 1/2 hour before or after having protein, how am I ever going to get it all in." It does get easier with time. Please keep us posted as to how you're doing. Remember, this is your time to really take care of yourself, rest, sip, and walk when you can. Those gas pains are horrid! This too shall pass.
