    Hi teacher...just checking in on you. Hope you are puttering around more now than you were a few days ago. Go, go, go girl! Have you found that you have no cravings and are not hungry yet? That has been such a relief for me, and in itself worth all the trouble! Take care and looking forward to hear how you are doing.
  2. Thanks, everyone! I spent one night in the hospital...although it might have been better to have stayed one more. I was SO SORE!!! I couldn't even get out of the bed without help. I felt pretty bad the night I got home, but I am improving today. I have my routine down...drink, walk, blow on spirometer, take pain meds, and sleep. The time up I will change that to protein with water. I am having no problems getting lots of liquids down. I can see at least a week before I am puttering around again!

    Hi Teacher...You asked about the pain level...I am now 8 days post op and have been very pleased with the less-than-expected pain. Of course there is pain when you wakeup and for the first few days. They asked that we walk one lap around the nurses station (?distance, 80 yds?) and I was feeling so great after the first half lap that I walked a total of 18 laps in the first 24 hours!! DUH...felt kinda awful the next day and walked very little. I have had RA and bad knee pain for years and the Morphine took away the knee pain!! Ha..just don't overdue it, ..pace yourself..but do walk as it reduces the gas pain much faster. Once home I am only really uncomfortable when turning over in bed. Otherwise so much better than I ever dreamed, and have only taken pain meds before bed and in the middle of the night since post op day 3 to now. I see my surgeon today, and man has time flown by! Will be sending you good vibes!! Don't worry about the discomfort, just keep the big picture in mind...good luck girl!

    Hi Linda, just checking in and realized your surgery is only 6 days away. Have you started your pre-op liquid diet yet. My Dr. is saying clear liquids only, including the protein, but I have read so many having creamed soups and mile with their protein, did your Dr. give you specific instructions??? I am so excited your date is almost here...so happy for U !!!

    You asked about the pain level. I am 12 days out and surprised at how little pain there is..I will say that everyone has a different tolerance for pain but I feel blessed and lucky. I am back at work!! Good luck to you.

    Hi teachertoo....Not sure about a pillow but I do go to the gym to try to tone up. I am finding a little flab but I may just have to deal with that lol. I am 52 and this is the best thing I have done for myself! Wish I had done it sooner. Thanks for your kind comment. That pic of me is actually a before pic. I will be posting after pics soon.
