I hate it when people post just to post.....

[Froggi 4]

My surgery was Friday afternoon, but it wasn't until Sunday that I felt like I had been hit by a truck. Saturday wasn't horrible... bad but not horrible.

Today I just feel ugh. Don't know if it's something I need to be worried about just yet or if I'm getting better in stages. I don't feel as good today as I did yesterday... and it's not really a pain thing. Just kinda... ugh.

AND WELCOME, FROGGI!!

Thanks for the welcome...I felt like I got hit by a truck as soon as I woke up from surgery. The hiatal hernia repair made it to where I couldn't breathe...then the band was painful too. I have 4 incisions 3 of them are about half an inch and the big one for the port is like 2 1/2 inches long. The most pain I am having is lots of gas pain in my chest and left shoulder mostly. And it's very hard to burp. My incisions are hurting too but not like the hernia repair...Also it doesn't matter how much I walk around it doesn't seem to dimenish any of the gas/pain. Tis annoying but so worth it. I weighed myself before surgery and I was down 17lbs. That's 11 the first preop week 17 the 2nd preop week. If I add that 28 and the 28 from my 6 month diet for insurance I am down 56 lbs. I sure hope I begin to feel normal again soon though, I can't lay down or lean back without lots of pressure from the hernia repair...so I'll be sleeping sitting up for awhile! Having lots of trouble swallowing pills too...especially since I can only have so many ounces of Water an hour. Gonna start crushing them.

Congrats on the banding Froggi!

For those of you with night leg and foot cramps---I know it sounds wierd, and I cannot tell you how it works or why, only that it DOES work for us.....

Put a bar of soap in the foot of your bed. I put ours between the mattress pad and my fitted sheet at the foot of the bed, out of the way. They do not recommend using Dial or Dove, something is not in them that works I guess.

My DH got the calf muscle charlie horse type cramps several times a week---this put an end to them! When he gets one, we change out and put in a fresh bar of soap.

Try it! You have nothing to lose, if it doesn't help your cramps, throw the bar in the shower and nothing lost!!

Hope it helps!

Yeah, the 2nd day was the worst for me....although I guess I was fortunate, since I didn't have much pain at all.

And slim, I LOVE the new avi!! I haven't been that attracted to a cartoon sine "Wonder Woman" on Superfriends.

I'm so confused. The point is only to put it b/w the fitted sheet and mattress pad and it wards against the evils of cramps or does he "do" something with the bar of soap?

Thanks everyone! I finally got the MEEZ thing to work.

We'll need to change the name of the thread to Meez!

Posting to say I got my haircut today; woohoo! I love getting my hair cut. For me, it's very long...maybe 3" above my bra (brunette). It was basically all one length with a very few layers. She cut in more layers that begin at my lips. Woot!

You should update your MEEZ with your new hair cut.

[Gracey 7]

Eh, it's still basically still close enough. Oh, I'll be in God's country (TN) tomorrow; woohoo!

Sorry SNT, I think you need to re-read your Bible. It clearly says that God's country is Texas.

Your right, that does sound weird. I wonder why it works, but am definitely willing to try it.

Thanks everyone! I finally got the MEEZ thing to work.

And your Meez is very cute!!
