Sharona

Lost 20 lbs since surgery on May 14, came off fast at first (too fast to continue), slower now, but still losing. No more pain, sleeping on my side again and sometimes on my stomach. Almost on regular diet, just have to be careful, chew really well and take lots of time. Back to work after two weeks, I followed all the rules from the start and I really think it paid off. Here's to a new life! :-) Surgery date May 14th 2013

Same here this is the first time I've picked up my tablet and logged on, just haven't been up to much. Doesn't help that the house is empty from 9 am to 8 pm and that I don't like being alone. Tried going to the store this past Sunday and ended up in tears half way through the list he wanted me to sit down and let him finish, but I said to let me get through. Can't wait to get back to work (did I just say that) LOL Surgery date May 14th 2013

Yes I did, it was comfy but hard to get in and out :-) Surgery date May 14th 2013

Home, YEAH Surgery date May 14th 2013

Got home today, was in for 3¹/² days, low oxygen levels and a fever kept me in. For pain I had morphine pump and liquid Oxy. They let me keep my pump until this morning, and sent me home with the liquid. Also got a prescription for nausea patch that goes behind my ear if needed. Gas has been my enemy because I can't pass any. Sipping on nectar protein, when mixed with water tastes like lemon tea, it contains 23g of protein per scoop. When I get more strength I'm gonna try some of the recipes they have me. Surgery date May 14th 2013

Surgery was @ 8 and went well, however I was in recovery until 5pm because I didn't come out of anesthesia very well. Out of bed around 830 for my first walk and then sat/slept in the chair for about an hour. Not to much trouble sleeping. Woke up this morning and got my first sip of water, so far so good, they said they are gonna give me a good workout today, so I'm gonna take a little nap. Favorite thing: my pain med button :-) Surgery date May 14th 2013

Well I did it and feeling pretty good this morning, just got my first sip of Water. The toughest part was taking my first walk last night, I sat in the chair for about an hour, the worst was getting back into bed, I am only 5 ft tall lol Surgery date May 14th 2013

I am with an amazing man who wants to marry me, sometime in the near future, I have not meet the majority of his family, just a couple and when I do meet them,I want to feel good about myself and be liked our disliked :-) for ME, not my weight. He says it doesn't mater, but it does to me! I wasn't him to feel good when he walks in with me by his side.
