Today was a very good day for me minimal if no pain ,my friend came to visit me with a giant cup of my favorite Ice ,yes just ice from Sonic,we sat in the backyard in the gazebo just talking and laughing,she's my walking buddy in the mornings and we both miss those walks and we shall continue after the healing process in finally done. I think I kind of freaked her out by walking ,or shall I say shuffling out the door and slowly cautiously sitting down. She will also have bariatric surgery ,but has elected to have the sleeve.which I support 100% after she's my buddy and I care about her. She wanted to know how the pain was what the scars looked, how the drain was attached, you know the usual questions . Oh I had my first BM ! Everything went great no blood,nor pain , nothing . Yes today was a good day tomorrow even better ,have a goodnight and a better day ,

I had a very good day thank you , hope yours was awesome too !!

Thank you !! What a cutie I just love Maltese . Good luck on your surgery . Keep posting have a great weekend , it's 84 here and looks stormy !!

I got the drain taken out today !! It didn't hurt ,it kind of tickled coming out it was long too, longer than I would have imagine. There's a tiny hole which will close shut in two days on its own, had bloodwork done and my sonogram is on June 7 . I had a better day than yesterday and its only going to get better. Went in the backyard and shots some photos of my neglected flowers,next week will be the big clean up of them gotta deadhead for sure and prune my roses, s such a mess!! Played with my boys and let them sit on my lap, a little nervous about that but they behaved like gentlemen . I'm getting hungry I think well maybe not,maybe it's in my head .i have to get more protein I'm getting plenty of liquids ,have no problems getting liquid down and I eat ice all the time 44oz cup from sonic I got a bag of ice from sonic only cost a dollar!! I love those little cubes. Well I hope everyone is doing well and happy . Goodnight and sleep peacefully. My day outside

Unbelievable !! You've lost more weight than you weigh now !!

I was on full liquids for just seven days lost 12lbs , one week out today , total of 26lbs, 248-26=222. It's a start

Wow 6 months??? Wow

The surgery is really working for you ! That's a big difference congrats!!

I'm old school, I like being taken care of ,husband is more than happy to drive.......anywhere ......anytime........ladies day out too lol that's when the line is drawn

I didn't use anything I packed for the hospital ,I only stayed overnight but the list was, pack gown given one pack slippers given socks with skid free bottoms pack clothes for going home ,worn same scrubs I came in i packed my iPad, the cell,the nook, didn't use them, i was under the influence of DRUGS !! didn't care about electronics didn't watch the TV i was either up walking or hitting the pain pump button, or sleep (for me it was a waste of time to pack)leave all your jewelry at home everything earrings too.As far as food and drinks buy a little of something you may not like or tolerate it, for the first four day I only took Sips of Water and Protein drinks very little, then applesauce ,yogurt,and cottage cheese, now yesterday was cream of potato Soup,Gogurt, diet s apple tea with lots of ice diet ocean spray cranberry with lots of ice. And I dreamt about Popcorn!!! I hope this helps ,and welcome!!

I spent mine going from room to room looking out the windows from my second story home ,thinking its such a cool nice day for a group of friend having fun......, then reality hits me quarter in the face!!!! Lets get real here ,same people ,same music ,same food ,same drunks, over eating, over drinking ,pretending to enjoy myself when I just want to have a Normal day without the chaos and mayhem,so I decide ( I ain't got time for that) lol called and graciously cancel saying I have a new least on life and it does contain drama and the things that go along with it ! I stayed upstairs. ,cause my lovely husband forgot to wake me up so we could tackle those stairs together, it's om I look outside to the backyard and moved slowly to the bedroom views of the front and side yard ,not bad it's serene, peacefully and just what I needed . I eat some applesauce and some cottage cheese no hungry at all but I know I need to put food in my body need more fluids also. I guess that will come later I think I'm four days post op May 24th was the date of surgery I didn't take any pain meds, not that I don't have pain ,but because it knocks me out!! I need to be up walking. I have this awful pain on the left side ,that's the only place it hurts ,and when I say hurt I'm not fu88 ing around it hurts so much but not all the time ,go figure. The one time I miss since the surgery ... No not food I could care less about that , no it's my Maltese I can't let them on my lap and its killing me and them ,they are so sad and just sleeps on the couch there i use to sit they won't eat just looks up at me on the second floor ;( so that's how I spent my Memorial Day

I'm not even hungry, but that sounds really tasty ,I can almost smell it !!

I would love to have ones little ones running around the house !! My daughters haven't made me a granny yet and they live in the Northwest so there's just the five of us here husband, my boys ,( malteses) and the grouch , (Main Coon cat) and me so welcome;)

Take your meds ,right now THEY are your best friend at this point and time,Believe me I resisted I thought the worse but talked to Dr. And pain on left side was due to the work he did.if its air, walk walk walk you'll find some comfort.i read in the booklet my Dr. gave me that some patients can't tolerate plain Water,so mix a little crystal light or some other drink mix into it,I personally found that if I freeze the bottled water slightly I can drink more of it ,thus getting my required amount. Please please take the meds and get some much needed relief . Hope you sleep well.

Mine are glued except for the drain which has a single loop stitch .

Hope you're feeling better
