Dawn

Breakfast

I did it. I had surgery today. I expected the worst. Right now at 11pm is the most I have been alert and awake. I have been sleeping like crazy and a few hours ago I had some juice and broth which went down ok especially cuz I was hungry and dry throat. I also toke a short walk which was hard because I am super dizzy. The pain was bad at first but has gotten easier and is tolerable. I'm a big baby and for me I was surprised the pain is not bad. Nothing that the meds could not fix. I no longer am scared and I feel good and don't regret this. Thank God. Now I am finally excited. Wishing everyone the best.

Way to go, tbooks! Take it nice and easy!

They are telling me I am very lucky to be alive but I will be here recovering for at least 3 weeks. Please to anyone thinking of going to Mexico please dont!! The Dr's here are all telling me how many people they see each week with botch jobs like mine

I am one day post op and doing great. Mild pain. Just sore. Nothing unbearable. I have been up walking today. And feel great!!!!

It is so amazing they can make diet drinks like diet dr pepper soooo tasty, but they can't do anything with Protein shakes. No matter what - they are sooo gross, even the smell can make you gag! I drink mine in my sleep about 5:30 in the morning so I won't have to remember it!! Lol

Hi, I'm a newbie but I look forward to getting to know everyone. My surgery date is Nov 26, and a I started a restricted liquid diet yesterday. So far I'm exhausted and have constant headaches. I have a thanksgiving party this weekend that's one of my favorite events of the year, but I may skip it. I'm also planning on renting a movie and hanging out in bed while everyone eats. Luckily in this case, I'm anosmic so the smells won't be torturing me.
