I hope you can see this, still using my BlackBerry. I'm going home today. Everyone has been nice here but I can't wait to go home sniff sniff...

I'm waiting to hear how you're doing! Good thoughts coming your way.

Glad your home now. Sipping was very painful for me too for the first week. I'm almost two weeks post op now and the sipping is sooooo much easier. You'll get there before you know it.

I LIIIIIIIIVE (little dragon from Mulan :-) !!!

Oh my peeps:rolleyes:! OMGOSH! Today is the first day I feel pretty good. I made myself get dressed and my mother took me to run a few errands so I could get some walking in. This journey started off super rough for me. Today I was finally able to get more fluids in and even started taking my Vitamins. It's so difficult getting fluids in when you have pain and having a messed up long scratched up uvula doesn't help (it's so gross I tell you)...But I'm doing it slowly but surely. I really don't think I was mentally prepared as to how little I would actually be able to take in. It's not that I'm hungry at all, but it's the pressure that I know that I have to get fluids in or end up back in the hospital :confused1:. Besides the gas, messed up uvula and not getting fluids in, one of my staples (holding up a good chunk of fat) on my stomach is super sore (I'm still swollen inside and out).

The good news is I know this time will pass and I'm praying that everyday WILL get better, I know it will:biggrin2:.

So glad to see here I have been so worried about you! I am so glad you are finally feeling better. Did they have trouble with your intubation that caused the problem with your uvula? It will get better now let the losing begin.

Have you been gargling with Water salt water? It may help

Sorry to hear of your throat troubles. That's all you need when you have everything else going on to worry about...I remember Dr. Zane kept me longer too...until I could pee more (kind of obvious if you're not getting in enough fluid) ha ha. I'm sure it was good to get out of there and go home. I had a hard time too at first, and I can assure you it gets soooo much better before you know it. Just take in what you can and let everything heal. Keep us posted.

You sound better today. That's great. Now, I didn't have much trouble with my surgery, but it was hard for me to get the fluids down. Sip, Sip, walk, walk... our mantra! I'm looking forward to seeing your posts of how much weight you've lost as you go through the process. Healing thoughts.

And on top of that I found a pretty big lump on my left breast the night before the surgery, can you believe that??? But it worked out because Dr. Zane was able to get a biopsy while I was asleep. Thank you so much for your feedback I really need to hear it gets better:redface1:, I know it will.

Thanks so much Breezy, I soooo appreciate it! Well I hit 199 today so that feels pretty good:thumbup:...
