Feeling better! Thanks for the Love!!

So today is one week after my 2nd surgery.  I had emergency surgery on the 12th for a twisted, herniated and strangled small intestine and then again on the 16th for the same thing in a different spot!  They were able to do it laproscopically and now I have a total of 5 new and 6 old holes in my abd!  Like a sprinkler!!
I came home from the hospital at 168 lbs of poop, gas, contrast and water and am now down to 148!  I imagine that I will gain back about 3-4 lbs of that.  I went into the hospital at 154.  I feel pretty good today and went for a 1 mile slow walk yesterday and today.  I am going to the doctors on Friday for my follow up and will be interested to find out exactally what they did to me.  I do know that at first my whle large intestine was on my left side and at the second surgery they moved it all back to where it belongs.
Again Thanks for all your thoughts and well wishes!!!!!!

We are so glad to hear you are feeling well enough to get out and get some fresh air.  You have been through a lot so be sure and check with your surgeon on what and how much ok?

Now that is a success story...losing weight even when in a crisis 

Baby steps my friend, baby steps....

Take care,
Kathy

Oh Jen, what a relief it is to know that you are on the mend.  Sure hope you get a great report from your dr Friday - can hardly wait to know what you found out.

Now I know we all want to go to bed and wake up the next morning 20 pounds lighter - but, really, don't you think you way was just a bit drastic LOL

Seriously, I'm so glad from the bottom of my heart that they found, and seemingly have solved your problem.

TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF YOURSELF, my friend 

Hey Jen, Glad your feeling a little better. I agree with Kathy that you should take it easy untill meeting with the Dr. Boy I wouldent want to be around when the 20 pounds of "poop,gas,contrast and water" broke lose lol. Keep us posted on how your doing.
