So, I finally got it. Surgery was Wednesday 1 -15-14. Went great I was walking that day. I am now on a full liquid diet barely any pain whatsoever. I have lost 32 lbs since Jan 1. So far going great. I will suggest a Bari-bear or a cough buddy stomach pillow. And definitley easy on shoes. I chose my sanooks and they worked great.

Congrats!!! I'm glad you're doing so well!!! I need to get one of those bears or a small firm pillow. Especially for a 3hr ride home.

I had a four hour ride home. Make sure you get your pains med ASAP. A small pillow and try to sleep.< /p>

Most important for that 3 hr ride is to stop often and get out and walk some. Sitting long periods is not good. The walking will help ward off DVTs. (clots)

I still sleep in my recliner after four weeks, I found it was much easier to get up and around on my own. It hurt to lay on my side in bed and to engage my core muscles to scootch to the edge. I also had a pillow to squeeze if I had to cough or laugh,

I'm on my couch. I have been since I've got home. Honestly right now I feel kinda guilty. I read others post with troubles and whatnot but I feel great. I'm a huge fan of hobby grade radio control cars. I just ordered a new electric so I'd have something to chase during my walks.

Mine was day before you. I am in bed early today but walked over 5000 steps in grocery store and mall. Down 9 pounds in past week, plus lost 5 pounds of IV fluids. Fastest weight loss ever. Go team!
