Hey guys I had my surgery Monday and I just wanted to check in...i'm doing a lot better.Monday was literally hell on earth but each day so far has been getting a lil easier. Today my mom and I went and did two laps around the mall and went to Walmart to pick up some Soup. I was doing fine till the end of Walmart when I was ready for a much needed nap. I feel like most of the gas is getting out but i'm still having upper back pain.I have a heating pad for that though. Just sipping walking and trying to relax. Luckily I was approved for leave from work till the 30 so that should give me plenty of time to recoup. Although i'm uncomfortable, as i'm feeling better day by day i'm super psyched to be on the losers bench...

Today is my first day back to work in the office. I worked from home last week. Surgery was on 9/10 and I took 2 weeks off. Plenty of time for me. On a bright note, I had to do my wellness screening for work to get a discount on my insurance premiums and.....I went from a high BMI of 41 to a 35 today! Highest weight was 225 and today I'm 191 (34 pounds total, 19 since surgery). Yes, I'm counting every single pound gone since I started this journey a year ago!!

Back to reality (work) tomorrow. I will be 15 days post op tomorrow. Thankfully, I work from home a few days a week, but the days I go to the office means a 1.5 hour commute. I have been so tired...no, exhausted the last few days. Went to a wedding Saturday night and my son's soccer game on Sunday, and I just haven't bounced back as quickly as before. I need to start working out, but just don't know where the energy is going to come from. I got tired shaking the pepper shaker tonight while making dinner! LOL
Anyway, hope all goes well for those of you having surgery tomorrow. Praying for safe surgeries and speedy recoveries. As I've said, for me, the first 24 hours were the worst. Just know that you will feel much better after 48 then 72 hours! Just hang in there!! See you on the other side!

Thank you all for the prayers...my surgery went well...not too much pain yet...

You might try holding the capsule in your mouth for just a little bit so that it starts to soften, You may get a bit of the medicine taste in your mouth but not as bad as opening it and eating it was. I have avoided swallowing pills ever since I was banded seven years ago. Some I open up into crystal light and take an ounce of liguid with the medicine inside the caps. some I hold in my mouth for a bit. And for antibiotics I always ask for liquid. I feel like a little kid sometimes taking my PINK antibiotic. but oh well. Right now I have an abscessed tooth and I had the dentist give me liquid keflex, they had no problem. They just have to figure out the right dosing for an adult.

Thank you..I just had a woman call me on base and offer to clean My house 2 times a week for free for the next month and she will do the clean out of the old house and a pre clean of the new house before a move in..thank God for military wives..my husband is so busy as grid getting ready to leave again. My son plays sports n works. I'm sure my OCD doesn't help as I have to have a very very clean house. Lol

Good news...I'm 13 days post op and I.GET.REAL.FOOD.TOMORROW!!! It's still a limited menu, but I can have eggs, white fish, ground turkey/chicken, lunch meat, cheese, mashed/soft fruit and cooked veggies!!! I'm so excited!
Bad news...one of my incisions is infected. Thankfully, it opened on its own to drain so my doctor doesn't have to do it, but the scar will not be as pretty. I also have to take antibiotics for five days as a precaution. Just another reminder that this is NOT the easy way out!
Oh, more good news. Highest weight at start of journey was 225 and today I am 193! Down 17 pounds since coming home from hospital. I'm in Onederland for the first time since about 2005!
