Woke up this morning actually feeling a bit more like myself. HOORAY! The light at the end of the tunnel has appeared. Only taking tylenol for the pain/fevers now.

 

Had a hard day/night last night, very depressed and hungry, but still on the liquid only diet so there's very little I can put into that new stomach.

 

Really looking forward to Tuesday when I get to eat eggs, refried beans, cottage cheese, etc. Yippee!

 

So the doctor did admit that a blood vessel burst in my abdomen during surgery which has caused the crazy bruising and the low hemoglobin problem. Things happen, but somehow I felt better that he explained WHY they happened.

 

The the most positive thing is that my husband can tell I'm losing weight. Of course the scale says it, but when I look in the mirror, I DON'T SEE IT. There's still so much swelling in my belly that I feel bigger. UGH!

 

My boys have been super supportive. I'm feeling guilty that tomorrow is Father's Day and I don't have much planned for the most wonderful Dad in the world. I'm so blessed to be his wife.

By taking this journey, you are giving your husband the best gift of all.... You are giving him a healthier, more energetic, happier wife who will be alive to love him much longer. I cannot think of a better gift for him or your two boys. Congrats on your success to date!

It will get easier my surgery was April 25th I had a very large hernia which had to be repaired along with the sleeve surgery. I've been sick and swollen for about a month. I feeling much better at this point. However I'm still not eating much, but feeling good.
