Hi there, I'm home from hospital and feeling great. That was way less traumatic than I thought it would be. I was given plenty of morphine quickly as I woke in recovery so that took care of pain for most of the day. Had a pretty awful night, not in pain exactly as very restless and unable to get comfortable on the horrible hospital bed. I ended up pacing the floor for a few hours because I felt better standing up and moving than lying flat, in the end I was given some sedatives to allow me to get some sleep and this morning I woke up feeling fab.

I was very fearful of swallowing! Just ice chips yesterday then the barium swallow and xray but it was this morning before I was game to actually drink, am going great guns now.

Boy I look about 9 months pregnant and the noises going on in my belly are very impressive. When it decided to exit you'd all better duck for cover over the other side of the world!

Just been out for a half hour walk, which I handled with no problems.

All in all I'm feeling positive and happy!

I am on week out.Still a little sore.Had really bad shoulder pain hope you do no have it.

Today has been my best day. I have lost 13 lbs. The week of liquids passed fast. I am on mushies and I am sure I will not lose as fast. I hope to be belowe 200 before Christmas.

Good luck to you.

Glad to hear everything's going so well, Jacqui! All that walking will definitely help with the gas pains you should start feeling soon.

Just make sure to get some rest in as well and take care of yourself
