Day 4 Post Op- Yep I'm On The Other Side ^_^

Jul 11, 2014

Hi Everyone  I had every intention of posting the day before my surgery  but I simply did not get to it. I was keeping myself as busy as possible to try to curb being nervous. I DID take "BEFORE" pics  that I will post when I get some decent "AFTER" Pics to post next to them  I did lose 10 lbs on my 1 week Pre- Op diet! They had us report for admission at 8am and we had a really long wait time to be taken back...until 12:30pm. We still have no idea what that was about. The surgery itself only took a little over 90 mins. I had the Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass (RNY). For the next week I am on a liquid diet- NOT like the Pre Op diet- no protein, no milk..just clear liquids...5 calories or less, sugar free popsicles. sugar free jello and clear brother. I made it a point to be up and walking early the first ..I have heard how important this is everyone. I have no had any gas pains because I have kept moving!

The one thing you should know...abdominal pain...the sharp pains from the operation site..oh boy...it is real...it is there...the worst part is trying to get up (I even bought a "wedge" for my bed" ...just be careful moving I guess. Once I get out of that position, I am fine...I do need my pain meds..that is for sure!  Thank you for all the prayers and thoughts...know that I am sending them your way!!!
