I mowed my front yard yesterday, with a push mower, by myself, all of it, without stopping, I know it may not sounds like much to you. This is something I haven't be able to do in 10-15 years! I'm on cloud 9. The little things do count!

9 days post op PAIN with hunger
Karen Chapman replied to 2bullymom's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I also have hunger pains, to where I must eat every 3-4 hours, the first week post op I was waking at night staving and would eat. Two weeks out today, I sleep all night but still need to eat as soon as I wake. When most people here say there never hungry and must remember to eat. -
Getting nervous surgery in less then 3 weeks. Worried about a couple of things. First thing is I only stay in hospital one night, is that nuts! I was hoping to stay for a couple, if not 3 nights, The main reason I wanted to stay longer is, I really don't have anyone to help me out at home. Don't worry I'm making plans to have someone here now if this is the case. The other deal I don't understand is my pills, I asked my Dr she said they would tell me how to handle them. Then on the paper work from the WLS center last week, tells me to talk to my Dr. I'll be calling in the morning and try to figure it out.
