In quite a bit of pain. Not able to keep much down besides water. I might have to stay another night because I've been so nauseated

So sorry you are in such pain. I can assure you that every day it gets easier. Hang in there, staying another night in the hospital, while not pleasant, is certainly a safe place to be. Heal quickly Adam!

in the surgery waiting room waiting for my nurse to call me back for the IV hook ups and undressing.

Adam

2 days out and I am feeling a lot better. I was actually able to put down 1oz of vanilla pudding and 1oz of plain cream of wheat from the hospital kitchen. Yes I decided to stay in the hospital an extra day. I was feeling nonstop nauseous and found out it was the morphine making me sick. I got swithed over to liquid loritab and feel much better. I am so excited to get past these first few months of healing and move on to my happier healthier life! Oh. And in case anyone was wondering I weighed 381 before my pre op diet. Day of surgery I weighed 359. (:

That is awesome! Glad to hear you are feeling better. And it will only get better from here!
