September 12

Well today I came home from the hospital. Surgery went well yesterday. I haven't had anything to eat since Saturday evening. Have been on liquids since then. Just water and ice since surgery. Some pain, I think mostly from the gas. Incisions are fairly sore, not too bad I guess. The one by the port hurts the most. My daughter accidently plopped down on my stomach, that didn't feel so hot... Hopefully I feel back to normal soon.

Congrats!!! You'll feel "not so hot" for a week or two - but then it should be smooth sailing....

It took me about a week before I felt like my body said Yeah go for a short 20 minute walk. About 2 weeks before I started doing my slow laps at my gyms swimming pool. Here it is about 8 weeks since my surgery and Im doing about 2 hours of slow exercise a day. I told my husband that a man on oxygen was passing me on the 1/10 mile padded walk way at the gym. We had a GOOD laugh about that. I took me 35 min to walk it 10 times. My knees are in bad shape from being obese . As long as I take it slow my knees dont talk to me.

So just hang in there. My stomach was sore 2 days.
