Home now Gas hurts. Otherwise feel pretty good. Put too much shake in my pouch last night - very uncomfy! Lesson learned! Took off this humongous binder thing they had on me that extended from mid-boob to coochie. Seemed a little excessive.

I didn't get a chance to post on here before the surgery, but yaaaaay! XOXOXOXO

I came home about 5:30 PM last night.

I'm not going to lie, my surgery was pretty painful. I woke up to recovery in quite a bit of pain and confusion (pretty normal) and my back was K I L L I N G me because I had been laying on it for about 5 hours at that point. It took them awhile to find a room for me. I had mild gas pains, just enough to be annoying - but as soon I was able to, I was up and walking. My hospital stay was plagued with annoyances. I like to sleep on my stomach, but couldn't. I was hooked up to three different IVs so maneuvering and using the bathroom was difficult.

I've been dealing with a little bit of nausea at this point and it hurts to stand up straight. I couldn't really down the Protein Shake they gave me at the hospital, but I have a lot of options at home. They provided me with chicken broth but I couldn't stand the smell. The only time I "threw up" was when they tried to give me liquid pain medication.

Right now I'm sipping on Water and it's going down well enough.

I did have some instances of, "Why did I do this to myself?" But I've been trying to talk myself down from it.

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
