JASON R 0 Posted August 27, 2008 hello everyone! im home and doing good. i been home since about 6pm. it went well. dr.miles told my wife that it was hard to get in there because of all the fat tissue in the way. but he said that wsa normal on big guys. im having some pain in the shoulders and in my stomach area. the pain medication helps some. and im taking some gas-x too. i have tried to drink every hour and got to eat one popsicile. but i think i over did it because i started hurting under my boob area a liitle so i stopped until it stopped hurting. veronica came by and seen me before in the surgery twice, that was very nice. and i cant say enough about the people there that help me and took care of me. some of the most freindly people i have ever met. so if you are still waiting to get it done, dont worry because they are great people there. well im going to go and rest a little now. i check back in the morning. thanks everyone jason r Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jason, it sounds like you're doing great! Walk as much as possible, and don't forget your breathing exercises, that's really important. I'm glad you have such a good support system at home.

I'm glad you have such a good support system at home. im doing pretty good i think. but you know what they didnt even give me the breathing machine. i forgot all about it until you just said something. i need to call them and ask about it. my sister might have one at work. i go by there and see.

JASON R 0 Posted August 28, 2008 Veronica is one of the nicest ladies you will ever meet. she came by and seen me twice before the surgery. and how did you like the pics of here before the surgery. its great to see some lose so much weight like that. it gives me and everyone else hope to let us know we can do it to. on a side note. i think i over done it today with the wal mart trip. once i got home i was hurtting. i took about a 3 hour nap. my wife is so great to me. i hope everyone of you have a great support group like me. she has had it ruff with the kids and me. i have tried to get all the fluids in me as i could. i found out that some crystal light doesnt agree with me. and i got to eat some Jello tonight for supper. it was so good. its like cheating but not really. because its soild but liquid lol. i also been talking photos the last two days. i just got to take a shower and get my bandades off. it wasnt bad at all to take off. done just what veronica said to do. i started my food journal today also. im sorry i could go on on talking. jason r Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Di4AU 1 Posted August 28, 2008 Jason, I'm so glad you're doing so well. Just take it easy and heal. I ate so much Jello at that stage, I don't think I can ever eat it again. Just the thought of it makes me gag! It just seemed to get sweeter and sweeter until it was disgusting. By the time I was a few days away from soft foods, I couldn't care less about eating something solid, I just wanted something that wasn't sweet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alabamagirl1975 2 Posted August 28, 2008 You know, I never thought about Jello getting sweeter everytime you eat it ~ but if that is all you can eat, I can see that happening. I am just 6 days away from getting my last dr's release! WOO HOO!! After that, I will be scheduled for surgery (according to Naomi). How is everyone else doing? Jason ~ I'm so glad to hear that you are doing well. Just rest as much as you can Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
