Home from the hospital this morning.... I did really well and everyone was so nice and made me feel special. Key folks is to get some liquids in ya' for every action there is a reaction and what u want is to BURB and POOT... lol. Talk a bout relief... phew... that was the hardest part and that is what I have heard from others...
Weighed in at 207, so lost 16 pounds to surgery day. They asked 15 of me, so I did fine. I was outta' recovery in a record 20 minutes. Nope folks... I don't like to fool around... I want outta' the hospital as soon as possible.
So all is well, my family is happy to have me back home and all I have to do is hurry and recover.
Liquid diet is going fine... I feel like I am going through something similar to 'nesting'... LOL
I also thought about focussing on why I over eat and have a problem in the first place. For some reason I feel if I can identify that, my surgery will be even more of a success. I don't hear of too many folks discussing this... we have a problem, though the LAP-BAND® might be something to help us, it too can be sabotaged... so one of my goals is to play Sherlock Holmes and discover this.
I can tell you i love food... I eat healthy foods, no fast foods or super processed foods and I don't drink soda, with exception to a finer bottle of root beer maybe once a month.... I just eat too much. AH yes, so much it hurts... why do I do that? I hope to share the answer soon... finding this answer is part of my journey.
