Oops spoke to soon. Discharged and heading home (Flower Mound). And am now hurting in different areas. I think my insides are waking up, and letting me know it.

Just had surgery yesterday afternoon @ Forest Park Medical Center, Dallas. Was in my room @ 530pm... 600pm, I was given 2 flavors/2 bottles of Crystal Light and a bottled Water...and starting sipping sipping sipping... No nausea, no vomiting . I was off pain pump at 6am this morning, and just now, they removed IV liquids, I'm dressed, and walking to nurses station unassisted! Discharge is in the works! I just received a cheat sheet from Nuitrionist that says Clear Liquids day 1-7, full liquids (creamy Soups, strained, days 8-21, soft foods (shaved deli meats, canned tuna, fish, cottage cheeses, days 22-42. I think the hardest for me will be not chewing, and having to crush/ dissolve my meds... Yuk! Hang in there!!

I had my band removed because I was constantly having to unfill after a fill... Due to my sinus and allergies I would developed a mucus plug that kept me from getting breakfast and lunch down every day...constantly tossing at least one meal a day. So they would unfill the band a bit, and then I would have no restriction and felt like I could eat Big Mac....sooooo wasn't for me..

Flower Mound Tx, surgery in 14 hours @ Forest Park Medical Center
