Bad day yesterday

[Quilttina 0]

Had a really bad day yesterday 3rd day post op. Very emotional and painful day. I quit taking my pain med too early and It hurt everytime i sipped at my liquids. Quit taking pain meds because I just fell asleep after taking it. Wasn't getting any food or Water in. So cut dose of pain med in half. May try liquid motrin today. New goal: walk and sip today. Got good sleep last night. Feel like new woman today.

Nice goal, walking and sipping. The more you move the better it will be for you. Stay positive and keep your head up. BTW Congrats on the start of a happier and healthier you.

The first 3 or 4 days are always the hardest. It gets easier, just give it time. Congrats on your new band : )

I'm right there with ya darlin'. I am day 4 post-op, and the last few days have been hell. I could only take crushed Darvocet because my allergy to codeine pretty much ruled out every other pain med. The Darvocet didn't work, so I was essentially without pain meds for 3 days straight. Last night and today have been the turning point for me---I feel human again! Things will get better and you will get stronger. I wish you a speedy recovery, and I'm pulling for you.:wink:

I don't know if wonderful is the word I'd use to describe him, but I will say he is talented at what he does. Thanks for the well wishes, and same to you!

Brock, my daugter just had her lower body lift and breast reduction done by Dr. LoMonaco from Big Medicine. What a sweetie he is and, according to my daughter, just a big flirt. She also had her band done in Houston. She lives in NYC but houston has such incredible doctors. And judging by her recuperation, Dr. L has done an incredible job. She had her surgery two weeks ago tomorrow and is flying back to NYC tomorrow and returning on a shorter schedule to work on Monday. So I would think anyone that he's associated with on the show is probably a top notch surgeon.
