Because I'm happy, clap along if you feel like a room w/o a roof.

I'm getting sleeved today. I'm getting ready to go to the hospital. I didn't get much sleep and my stomach is in knots because I'm nervous but I am determined and I know I will be OK. I'm singing the happy song all the way to the hospital. LOL I might be singing a different song when I wake up lol but that's OK. Please sent good vibes my way and keep me in your prayers. I will try to update as soon as I can.

Ps...That stuff they give you to take a shower with the night/morning before surgery actually smells pretty good.

Talk to y'all later. :P :D

I'm going home today. I did not need the morphine but they did put toradol w the iv and that was great. On a scale my pain was about a a 4. However I started coughing and that hurt. I finally got my jello and it took me about 40 minutes to finish it I feel bloated. I avoided the morphine because that stuff is too strong and I know it would have given me nausea. My pain was not as bad. Walked a little more and took gas-x strips. ChapStick is a MOST. Thank u all. Let's hope I do as well at home.

Well I'm at home now. I must say I wish they had kept me in the hospital one more day, I feel fine but in the hospital they are constantly checking on u so u know for sure u were OK and there's help if u need. I decided to sleep in the sofa I can't lay down flat on the bed because it would be hard to get up. ( I'm a single mom and by the time I wake up one of my kids to help me up if I have to go to the bathrooms lol) I'm afraid of getting dehidrated so I got my water bottle and a also diluted light white grape juice. The light grape diluted feels good going down. I noticed room temperature feels better going Down. I'm getting hiccups gotta find out if other people gets them and why so I can try avoiding getting them cuz it hurts. Pain is at a level 2 Only when I drink do I feel discomfort. Well that's it for now will I update tomorrow. Thanks everyone for their support. PS. Have not weighed myself since I'm bloated and still a little swollen but day of surgery I was 237. Nite nite

You're doing so great, love reading your updates, keep up the good work, you are definitely doing much better than most at this point just remember as each day passes it all gets better :)
