I AM RECOVERING!!!!

[Raysofsunshine]

Just wanted to update everyone on my surgery and recovery progress. I first weighed in and had lost 35lbs on that crazy one month liquis diet and I am glad to say I made it through and don't even know why I was so nervous and scared to start with. Of course the hours after surgery was a but of a blur and I can say my mouth was dry but was given water and swabs to keep moist so I made it through that part as well and after my xray and dye scan this morning I was then a loud to sip water or chew ice chips and did extremely well with that no nausea feeling at all which surprised me. I managed that then I was brought my lunch tray which consisted of broth jello and crystal light again not nausea held it down . I was up and walking few hours after surgery and continued to walk I was told once I was able to pass some gas ,pee and of course handle liquids and continued walking this evening about 5:00 I was released from the hospital to come home so here I am all in tact and feeling pretty good other than being sore. I know I still have a long road a head of me but I am grateful that I made it through parts I thought I wouldn't. I also want to send a BIG THANK YOU to all of you guys that were supportive and encouraging along the way. So now let the healing begin!!

That's wonderful, I'm so happy for you! Saw your other note first so you don't have to answer me. Glad to hear you're home and off to a great start with recovery.

Congrats! So glad to hear everything went well for you as well Mine turned out to be one of the best case scenarios (and I'm not mad about it). I am getting released within the next hour or so and can't wait to finish my recovery at home. I was very scared of going straight to pureed food, but OMG it tastes so delicious!!!! I have managed to hold it all down, no nausea, and little to no pain. I actually had a thought this morning that maybe they didn't do what they said they did, but if that were the case, I would be absolutely famished by now lo.

Can't wait to hear how you progress! And congrats on the big weight loss prior to surgery!
