Yeah...that's right! I did it!

[goodlife 3]

I survived! Woohooo!

Doc said everything went perfectly.

I had some pretty uncomfortable pressure in my chest and upper back which I was told was gas pains.

When I first started trying to sip I had some pretty bad spasms.

They gave me some pain meds and some toradol and I went to sleep.

When I woke up a few hours later I felt SO much better.

Sipping didn't hurt anymore and the gas pains were all but gone.

I was able to get down 4 oz of broth, 4 oz of crystal light, 1/2 cup of Jello, and 2 popsicles.

Been walking a good bit also.

oh..liquid lortab tastes AWFUL but it sure works well! lol

And with that kicking in...think I'm going to get some sleep!:thumbup:

WOOOHOOO Chickee ! ! ! I'm so happy for you, and I can't wait to see your progress.

If they send you home with a RX for liquid lortab, you can get it flavored at the pharmacies.

Woot! Way to go sleeve sister! Doing well here too. I love them meds! That first hour I was like holy hell what did I just do cause it hurt like a truck ran over me. Once the anesthisia unclouded my brain I was good to go. Been doing the laps and sips--we are going to rock these sleeves!

I called the doc a little while ago because I started having some pain in the back of my left calf. My biggest fear is blood clots. He said it's probably nothing..probably just because of the edema from all the fluids they pumped into me through my IV. He said if I started feeling some soreness or tenderness or pain in my thigh or started having shortness of breath to call immediately otherwise they would check up on me in the morning and if it's still hurting they'd send me for an ultrasound of my leg.

I'm pretty sure it's nothing but the papers they gave me said to call if you have calf pain so to make my husband and mother happy I did.
