Hi All, Thought I would make the long story long. I am feeling great.Well I started off kicking myself because I realized I could of had breakfast on Thurs. Then I let it go, as, well I would never eat the same anyway and everthing has it's payoffs. My surgery was delayed because dr was behind and that was okay except I kept thinking the sooner this is over the soon I recover, lol. It was also very hard because my oldest dhter Gen, was very nervous and upset. A real grim reaper. I knew it would be like this and she apologized and said she probably shouldn't been the one to bring me. I just told that I knew it needed to be her so she could be the first to hear I was okay. Surgery went off without a hitch. I did not have to get up till after the cathater was removed and then they let me take a shower which was great. I walked after thaT AND felt pretty good. It seemed to get worse though after that. I couldn't rest, the pain meds made me feel weird and nothing seemed to bring comfort, TV , visitors , forget that, even sleep. They did not bug me to walk but I was getting up about three times a day so they maybe didn't feel the need. They did want me doing the breathing thaough as I had woke up in recovery with alot of congesttion. Went home after two days because I had wanted the extra day. At home I started having real "buyer's remorse :) " I was getting depressed because I felt lousy, only wanted to sleep and I just kept thinking if I would have just done better on my dieting then I would be feeling so miserable and could ever eat. Well Praise God because that was just a big lie. After dieting since I was 13, and now almost 50. Hypertension and pre diabetes, Heck I wasn't going to get to eat anything I wanted anyway. At least not without making my health even worse. Felt lousy till yesterday and had my mom give me one of her zanax. That solved more than a few worries, tee hee, slept all night and woke up today feeling like a million dollars. I really feel good. Even went to my sons 1st football game. Had my post op and had lost 28 lbs which is just crazy. The nurse looked at me like I must have had rocks in my pockets at my ;pre op. They said that was pretty unusual and not to expect much loss at the next visit. I cryed when I called my family. Now tonight was my first meal that wasn't broth or jello. I had a real smorgasbourd and was a little worried ut it was great. The menu 10 pork and beans mashed 2 teas. cottage cheese, yum yum and applesause as a chaser. It could have been a crown pork roast for all I cared.
