I'm finally home. Got out August 05. I had problems swallowing and my creatin levels went waaaay down. I've been home for 24 hours and my legs are swelling. So now I'm calling the doctor.

Gotta say' date=' once a couple of issues were addressed:

[*']removing the drain tube

[*]turning the air conditioner off

[*]Figuring out how to take my crushable meds despite the taste.

The pain is bearable. I have severe Fibromyalgia so I live with excruciating pain every day.

Did you have to get special pain meds to help with the increased/ different pain?

How are all the 8/1 peeps doing?? I'm down 33 lbs. been eating too much red meat, need to switch to chicken or fish starting tomorrow. Just so amazing to eat 4-5 forkfuls and be done!!

Teri

320, now 287

I'm down a total of 36 since beginning the pre-op program in March 2013, and only 18 post-op.

My nutritionist won't let me start soft foods until September 12.

FibroDiva, why the long wait for soft foods?

VST date 8/27/13

I'm down about 30lbs sincere surgery on 8/2/13. Something I've noticed is every time I'm done eating I feel like my heart rate goes up for about 5 min.....anybody experiencing this ? Also still dealing with some heartburn feeling.
