It a week later and wow what a difference a couple of days makes. I feel 1000% better. I am down to 165. Crazy how quickly the body recovers. I feel really good! But I still won't' forget those first few days, lol!

I had my surgery on Thursday the 25th. I had no idea how bad the gas pains were going to be. When I woke up on morphine and was still feeling like someone had ripped my chest open and was pulling at my heart. I was in a state of pure shock. I stayed in the hospital 2 nights because I could not hold any liquids down and I was dry heaving, which was so panful! I finally came home Saturday, but decided no pain meds because they just made me nauseous. It's 4 days later and I still have some residual gas pains, but nothing like Thursday and Friday. I am feeling a lot better, but can't help but want to kick myself in the a$$ for all the pain I inflicted on myself. I have lost weight since surgery. I was 178 on Surgery day and today I weigh 167. My goal weight is 120. I have been able to hold down clear liquids, and just got down my first 8 oz of Protein shake. I hope that the recovery is a speedy process and that I can be looking back at the post and this pain seem like a distant memory. Kind of like having a baby…you remember it hurt like hell, but it was worth it in the end.
