I'm in the recovery room!

Hi everyone! I had my surgery today and I'm in the recovery room waiting for a room to become available. Definitely sore but tolerable. I just wanted to say thanks to all of who talked me off the ledge last night. This board and all of you have really been a lifeline for me. I am eternally grateful.

I'm so glad I did this!

My journey begins....

Congratulations! Get up and get walking as often as possible, and keep those gas pains at bay! And when you're not walking, get some good rest!

Here's to a quick recovery, and WELCOME TO BANDLAND!

I agree, walk and rest. I had mine a week ago and with 3 kids and a traveling DH, I haven't been able to get the rest part in.

You will have to force the drinks and broth in. It is hard, I haven't been able to do it. I feel full all the time and last week if you would have told me I would, I would have said.. never.. I am always able to eat. Not any more. I have lost about 12 pounds in 1 week. So, there is a good thing, but I think I am missing my Proteins.

You and I have the same weight stats. I went in to surgery at 233 and I am 220.8 now. 233 was not my highest. I lost weight prior to the surgery.

It will get worse, the pain, but it will get better. I think the pain is the part that reminds the head why we did this to our body. I just hope my head listens better than I do to advise.

Enjoy your recoup. Do you have those great foot messagers? I loved those.

Keep in touch. It is worth every $$$ and every pain.

Hey! I didn't get any foot massages! Gees for $20K that's the LEAST they could do!

12 lbs in a week? Wow I hope we are a lot alike!
