WOW its been a long time!

Sep 28, 2009

Well I have not posted since I had my surgery......it has been a journey I will never forget!
I had my RNY on July 1st and ended up being in the hospital a few extra days then expected.  They couldn't seem to get my pain management right  and I ended up getting a bolus of Tordal which sent me into another world for a few days.  I ended up pulling my own drain because the crazy nurses didnt have enough since to snip all the sutures before attempting to pull the drain!

So I was miserable for about the first 6wks not being able to eat solid food and definately not getting my fluids.  I ended up with a kidney infection due to not getting the fluids I needed. 

I am now almost 3m out and I feel terrific......I know what I can eat and what doesn't do so well (like chicken).  I have lost over 60lbs already and I feel like I can conquer any obstacle that comes my way!  I am losing my hair pretty bad but I know that is apart of the surgery and there isn't anything I can do about it!

Life is GOOD & I am so Blessed!
