Congratulations! Did you decide to get the super sleeve over the plication?

Sorry it has been so long. I have pretty much woke up long enough to take my meds, try to drink something, walk as much as I can, use the bathroom, then I go back to sleep. I am unsure why but I had alot of scar tissue making my one hour surgery last over two hours. He said that since he did so much moving around in the surgery it will take me longer than most to recover. I am slowing getting better though. I made myself drink some warm chicken broth last night and it felt pretty good. They told me that it will be tight when I first wake up and anything warm will help. I'm not jumping back as fast as I hoped but each day gets better and better. I take my pain meds like clock work since I know from working at the hospital it is never good to wait to take them until you are really hurting since it is hard to get the pain under control. I'm just glad that I am at my sisters where I don't have to watch the boys, clean, or anything. I honestly am tired after a short walk. How is everyone else doing?

Yay,I'm so glad your done,jsut listen to your body,walk,sip,rest and healing thoughts sent your way!Hooray for Sisters!

Take it easy. I'm glad to hear you got through surgery and are doing better.

I hope you heal well and get back to normal soon. Thank goodness you have family helping you out while you recover.

Best of luck to you, and keep us posted when you feel better!

take it easy..listen to your body!

give us more news when you can!! I will be going in sept! can t wait to hear all about it!

I didn't nap once today and I was able to drink all though the day without getting sick. When I went to Mexico I forgot my gas-x strips and those have been my life saver. Instead of taking pain meds I would use a strip and take a walk. It was amazing how much of a difference if made. My sister says I looked dead the first few days. My eyes change to yellow when I sick so Im so I didn't look the best lol.. I'm still on clear liquids until Monday then I can start to have some full liquids. What can I drink that is clear and has protien?
