Four days post-op...

Jan 07, 2012

Well, it's done.  I feel like crap but that is to be expected!  I know it will get better and that this is the best decision of my life.

The biggest pain about the whole thing is the g-tube.  Because I am on so many meds they had to place a tube for me to get them.  That large incision hurts and the tube is long so I am afraid of getting bumped at all.  It is such a chore to take meds that I find myself dreading it.  It is a good 10-15 minute process twice a day.  After 3 weeks the tube will come out and I will probably wish I had it back when I have to take all those meds by mouth.

Recovery is going ok.  I got home Thursday night and have parked myself on the couch.  I am finally able to stand up, sit down, walk, use the toilet, and get dressed on my own!  Yay me!  LOL!

I know this sounds like a lot of whining, that's because it is!  I am grumpy and in pain but it WILL get better and I WILL be very happy I did this... just not yet.

I will be Thin by Thirty!
