I didn't think it would ever happen for me...

Today is a good day. I'm just chilling at home and resting. I have already finished my Protein for the day and now starting some Water and juice mixed 50/50. Pain is not bad at all today. I took the lortab elixir and I noticed that it makes me itchy and drowsy. So I will stick to just plain tylenol for now. I feel so much hope for what the future holds. I know it made all the difference in the world that I was so strict with myself the last couple of weeks before surgery.

I would give it 2-3 weeks----I'm only 6 days out and eating/sipping/ takes a long time per meal. Plus, about every other day I have to take a big nap. I also am not sleeping well yet----I think my body is hungry but I don't want any more intake at night! Takes awhile to process a meal!

Hey all. I had my VSG yesterday and I still can't believe I did it. I was supposed to have it done March 22 but Dr. cancelled due to a small weight gain. I was so paranoid about having that happen again that I was uber-rigid with my presurgery diet. I was supposed to stay overnight 2 nights until tomorrow, but I was doing well enough that he sent me home today. Glad for it since I could hardly sleep at the hospital. I have 5 abdominal stab wounds from the laparoscope and a JP drain. He didn't say anything about not returning to work (I'm a nurse in the same recovery room I was just in), he only said not to drive while taking the lortab elixir. I want to go back to work on monday. I'm feeling kinda sore, and I have been sipping my liquids. It still hasn't kicked in yet that I will be losing weight now. I feel like I will believe it when I see it. Anybody else felt like this before? I'm still kinda fuzzy headed.
