Big Bari

I’m a 32 year old husband and father I love to crack jokes and I coach my son in football basketball and baseball...yeah we stay busy I work as a Police, fire, and 911 dispatcher I love technology and sports

Ok let me know if you find anything out and I’ll do the same!

That's incredible progress, Barl. Congratulations on a very successful first week.

Week one update!
Hard to believe that it's been a week since surgery. Wow... feels like a whole new world!
NSVs for the week is I can now wear my wedding ring without pain. I'm also now the lightest I've been in 3.5years, and I'm going to my first writers meetup with a new group. I've got a little of my spark back 🙂
Down six pounds, 2.7kgs this week! And, I know it's ridiculous, but can I admit I was a little disappointed? 😲 I guess a big part of this process is the mental game... and learning to be patient. *sigh*
*twiddles fingers*
Guess I can't expect to be at GW after a week! 😂😅😅

How are my fellow February 13 surgery friends doing? What sort of pain (if any) are you having? I'm concerned that my pain is more than I should be having. Sharp shooting pains in my midleft stomach and just a feeling of soreness when I get up and start moving around. The nagging pain in my right shoulder has finally gone away. I can't sleep on my side yet, which is a bummer because I'm a side sleeper. How is your energy level? Are you doing OK getting in your Protein and Water? My goal is three 16.8oz water bottles per day and 2 30g Premier Protein shakes a day. I've had a little sugar-free, fat-free pudding, but I"m not really hungry for food.

I was nervous as well. I also had an extra 3 hour wait because there was complications in the two surgeries before me. So i paced alot. My surgery was supposed to be at 12:30p. I went into the or at 3 30 my surgery started at 4:10p then I was in recovery by 6:45pm in room by 8pm. My doctor said my surgery was picture perfect. I was her star patient all weekend.

I know what you mean. I was too excited to be nervous. My prayers are with you tomorrow and throughout your journey.

To all those who are joining me on the operating table tomorrow, February 13, Godspeed!
