Ahealthyme2013 39 Posted August 6, 2013 Here's an update for me. Had surgery late Saturday evening. The first day I was in a good amount of pain and nauseous. Now I only take pain meds if I need them, which I still do because of gas pains. Those have been the worst so far. I'm trying to get my fluids in. Drink whenever I am not sleeping and walk around my block a few times a day. I'm not ready for work, but have until the 19th and hope I'll be great by then. Everyday gets a little better!! I'm not weighing myself until my dr appts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
abbygirl 39 Posted August 8, 2013 Hey August 1sters - how are we all doing? Had drainage tube out yesterday and feeling 100% better (strange feeling getting that pulled out). Going back to work next week - desk job so no major lifting. 1 natynat22 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

abbygirl 39 Posted August 8, 2013 The doctor removed mine and did a local around the site and then sent some down the tube to numb the area and the diaphragm . I've heard without it that it produces quite the scream So far down 10 (total 20 with pre diet). It's my choice to go back - I own the company . Will probably start off 4 hours a day and build up during the week. Only seem to have gas issues in the morning - oh and when I drink too fast. I keep asking my husband I let me smell his food he thinks I'm nuts but I am looking forward to "tasting" omething other than chocolate, vanilla or chicken broth ! 1 natynat22 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
