Well I Made It On The Loser's Bench!

Surgery went well yesterday. I was disharged today and I'm so happy to be home. I am in some pain but the pain meds are helpful. I'm also havng trouble getting comfortable because of the stomach pain. I haven't been able to get down much water but I have been sipping here and there. I did eat a sugar free popsicle today. I can't believe I'm Post Op day 1. I'm really proud of myself for going through with the procedure. You all have helped me get through this and I wouldn't have been able to do it without my VSG family! I wish everyone much success and I'm sending prayers and blessing to u all;-)

Welcome to the losers bench!

Congrats of becoming a Sleever :). It was hard for me to get comfortable especially on my left side - that the side my doctor said he removed my stomach from one of the incisions.

It will get better. As for the water, just continue to sip sip sip sip as much as you can, no need to force it. Those SF popsicles are great, I keep at least 2 boxes of them in the freezer.

We all need to be really proud, this is a huge commitment to our health. I'm day four. I found if I sit up really straight or even stretch a little everything gowns down more easily! Be strong!

Congratulations!

Welcome to the losers bench..you've taken a big step toward a more healthy life:). Remember to sip, and the gasp strips are a life saver. Each day will be easier.

Congrats!! I'm glad you made it safe and sound.

Yeyyy! You did it :) so happy for u!

Congrats! Rest, sip, sip, walk, rest, sip, sip.......lol!!! I'm happy for you ;-)
