Done.. And excited and afraid



Recommended Posts

I just had my operation yesterday morning.. I admit it is more pain then I expected.. But I did it.. I am now on a new road to a happier and healthier life. Still have not tried to eat/drink yet.. Waiting for doctor to give the okay.. I am afraid of what to expect when I go home.... No nurses just a click away... I know one thing.. Once I lose this weight.. I will do everything in my power not to gain it back.

Everything will get better as time goes on. Days 1 and 2 post-op were pretty awful for me, but by Day 3, I started to rebound. Walk as much as you can and sip constantly throughout the day to meet your Water goals. And as much as the liquids will get old after a while, it won't be forever.

Good luck!

The first few days are rough, but it does get easier every single day. You won't need the nurses to help you by day 3 or 4. Make sure you get up and walk as much as you can. Even when you REALLY don't want to. It will help a ton with the gas pain and prevent blood clots. Plus it will just generally make you feel a little better and more energetic.

I tell everyone that I had no pain and everything was great. My husband disagrees and calls it selective memory. The point is, all will be good and any pain will be a distant memory. Keep looking to the future!
