Irene Poulos

Nov 14. Stayed 24 hours in hospital and had amazing nurses. I did have slight pain and they offered me morphine but I did deny. On pain scale I fluctuated between 3-5. I walked two hours after surgery as I know how important it is for recovery and blood clots. After that every two every two hours I would walk no matter how tired and dozy I was. Every two hours I also did the spirometer which is also critical they say for faster recovery. Since Surgery I am down 6 lbs. with preop drinks up until today 17 lbs so I’m ecstatic. Since home I have my little twoounce sip cups from dollar tree and I lay out for the day all the liquids I must drink. Easier for. I’m on propel, chicken broth and water atm. Tomorrow I can go to purée strained Soups. Really I’m not even hungry and have to force myself. The only issue I have is I haven’t had BM since Tues. very unusual for me. Over all so far over the moon !! Good luck to everyone!!

Bad ass!

I had mine past Wed!! So excited not really in pAin, more like discomfort. Since fast last Thursday until today Nov 16, I’m down 14 pounds so I am elated and so glad I took the plunge! Good luck to you all!
