Congrats on the break-out Liz!! Let the house go or have your fiancé pay for a cleaner. Take it easy and heal so you don't have to go back! :)

I fear I may have to go back. I just woke up dry heaving and crying in pain. I went from 24/7 morphine for a month to cutting it off old day. I hate saying this but I think my back got used to the angle of the hospital bed. I may have to try and recreating it.

I hope you start feeling better again. It could be the angle you were in for a long time..

Praying for you....

I couldn't sleep laying down for some time Liz and when I returned home I returned to the guest room again with dozens of pillows to recreate the incline in my hospital bed as well. I thought I hated that thing, but my body had gotten used to sitting up I guess. I would also get nauseous when lying down flat :( Sorry love

I don't know if it would help but I have seen foam wedges that you can buy to help you lay at an incline, I am planning to get one soon due to my Restless leg syndrome. It sounds weird but if I sleep partially sitting up my legs arent as bad as when I sleep flat. Good luck and I am so happy to see that you got to go home, you have been in my prayers and now I will pray you stay home an healing comes without any further issues :}

Ok. I'm still nauseated but not vomiting. I've discovered I have to be propped up, and a good part of my problem is the opiate withdrawal. Still pretty sick, but not ER sick for now. My big goal is fluids.

My lips are blood red, so is my tongue with a god awful bile taste. Dr says it sounds like thrush. What the Hell is next? Getting a prescription for phenergen today because I'm vomiting despite the zofran and scope patch. Ugh.

Also, never knew it would be this hard to take a shower.

That's great!! You HAVE to keep your sense of humor. Sometimes that's the only thing that will get people through stressful times when everything seems to be spinning out of control. Hugs!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
