Lots of sleep...

Last night I felt tired, so I thought I'd take a "nap" around 7:30. Welllll, I woke around 4am! And I figured there was no point in being awake at 4am! So I took some liquid Tylenol (I've stopped taking the Vicadin already), had some water, walked around for a few minutes, then went back to bed! Slept till about 8am! I suppose my body needed it, though. I feel a lot better today!

 

My port incision is still sore and a bit swollen, but it's getting better everyday. Never did have any gas pains. *yay!* And last night I sort of got to sleep on my side a little bit with some pillows behind me. Much more comfortable!

 

I went out briefly yesterday. Just drove to Walgreens a few blocks away for the previously mentioned liquid Tylenol. (Crushed pills are so gross!) Just that little drive took a lot out of me! Not sure I was really ready for that. Perhaps that's why I ended up being so tired so early.

 

Today I am staying in, besides a walk outside. Tomorrow I have to drive over an hour into the city for my follow-up. I hope I've lost something, but if not, I won't stress too much. I'm still swollen and healing. There is plenty of time for losing later.

 

This is still the best decision I think I've ever made regarding my health! I'm so excited to see where this goes!

 

Blessings!

I am a big proponent of sleep!! :)

I'm glad that things are going well for you. My surgery was 5 months ago and in some ways it feels like last week. The time just starts to fly by!

I second (third) that opinion! The second night I slept about 12 hours and I woke up and actually forgot I had surgery -- no pain, no nothing! Had a bunch of energy and started the healing process.

Naps are good things! Long naps are even better...... Glad to see you are doing so well, keep it up :-). Have a good afternoon/evening, and good luck at the doctor's!

Maggie, I am glad it is going well for you. I went to my 1st appt on 6/11/10 and want to have this done. My husband also wants to have the banding. He needs to come off his meds. I would love to be friends and to chat about you progress. I know I will need support. I have friends but this is not something you talk about to a 150 lb BFF. I wish you luck. Hope we talk soon. Good luck with your weight loss and your photo contest!! Luck is on your side
