I was up walking laps within an hour or so in my room after surgery. The nurses actually went and got me a ribbon bc I was doing laps around the floor. Its was sweet. But my Dr told me to start walking 2-3 miles/day at least 3days a week as soon as I got home.

Had my surgery on 9/5/12, it has been a long hard month. Filled with many trips to the ER, lots of Dr. appointments, pain and highs & lows. But as of 10/5/12 I am down 50lbs. Still have a long way to go and hoping it starts getting smoother.

I am on my third Mirena, LOVE IT! I took it out in 2006 bc my husband (now my ex) & I decided to have one more. I got pregnant in the first month. Had my daughter and put another right back in.

My largest incision was on the right side, Im 2 weeks post op today, no pain meds since hospital. I get pains from time to time, I just walk it off. But its mainly if I use that muscle too much. ie...sneeze cough or jerk to get up.

I'll be 4 months out on Sept 23rd. This is my progress so far. I'm down 60 lbs . It is not easy, we have to work at it but in the end we'll look and feel so much better. I also joined CrossFit which is the BEST type of workout you can do.

So after 24hrs of no Protein, diarrhea stopped. I was feeling better, getting more fluids down. Then I started focusing on Proteins. I got 4oz of chk broth down, did ok. Started on the 42g tube, got about 4oz. An hour later, I was running back n forth with diarrhea. Still hasn't stopped. Going to PCP just to check blood work and she wants to do some culutures maybe fluids, but in her office. Surgeons office keeps saying its "unrelated" and offer no suggestions, kinda disappointed with them.
On the pain scale I'm doing great, not needing pain meds. Doing great first part of the day, by early afternoon I'm exhausted.
I woke up today, while trying to nap, I was panicked thinking I had solid food in my mouth, it was empty. But thought it was weird, I am so worried about making a mistake diet wise.

Yep, been using the spirometer. Im home, trying to walk sip and get down the protien, between little naps.

So i am officially Day 2 post op, supposed to go home today. Been coughing up lots of mucas and my chest is rattling a little.
I get to start sipping Protein called optisource. 2oz every 2 hours, something besides Water, can't wait!
The dilauded is still making me nauseated and itchy, my poor nose and mouth are red and inflammed bc I've been scratching so bad.
Happy Friday!!!!!

Everyone is looking great! Here I am from Pre, 1 month, 2 months and finally 3 months post op. I started at 427 and now I am at 322. Surgery was 5/24/12.
