Recovering
Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I am doing great healing up fine! I am having a little trouble getting all my fluids in but I am getting most of them in.
My hospital stay was very nice. I have no complaints! I recieved my pain medicine when I wanted it. The nurses were very nice and very caring! I had my catheder in until the day I left (due to low output). I am not using my pain medicine hardly. I have been home since yesterday afternoon and only used it twice. I am up walking and sipping. I have tried some soup and that was pretty darn good! I have about 4 ozs of protein drinks for meals and try to sip my SF CIB for in between. It's hard because mt tummy makes some funky sounds and I am not sure if it's because I am full or because of the gas.
I am however very tired so I am going back to bed! Thank you again!

What's worth the PRIZE is ALWAYS worth the FIGHT!
AWESOME!!!!!! Congrats and welcome to the losers bench!!! I am so glad all went well for you!
Your abdominal cavity was pumped full of air during surgery to allow for them to get to everything they needed to. It takes quite a while (a week or 2 anyhow) to get all of that air out again. I must admit after my first 4 days or so post-op, the bloating and pressure from that caused me more discomfort than anything most of the time. With wls you can usually tell if you are too full easily. It is sooooo uncomfortable. Try not to eat (drink) to that point tho. Measure and sip slowly.
Rest well!

Lost 114 lbs. working on getting rid of a recent 10 lb regain...and WILL succeed!
Ahh the tummy noises. I just had to name them the "gremlins" they were
discussing how they were gonna get back at me for eliminating their free
food. The "gremlins" are still here and I am 8 months out. They get quiet
for awhile but every now and then they let me know and everyone else in
the room that they are still here.
Glad that your on the losers bench. Get your rest.
