Monday morning prior to surgery when they weighed me in I had lost another 3+ lbs bringing my total to 19.5. Not bad!!!
Surgery went well and after coming out of recovery I experienced some pain but the nurses were great and quickly attended to my pain levels getting it under control.
Tuesday morning I was released to go home and it was a pretty uneventful day filled with trying to sleep and being under the influence of pain meds.
Wednesday started off good but has proven to be the most difficult day so far. I was experiencing intense pain and nausea to the point I had to make an after hours call (2 am) and have my surgeon paged.
Thursday improved and I was able to move more. Weighed in and found that I was up over 4 lbs. But that was to be expected as I was being pumped full of IV fluids for 24+ hours and still had the gases from surgery trying to find a way out.
Friday I was doing pretty good and even ventured out for a while. My mom was here to help me out this week and took Craig and I out to lunch for an early birthday gift to Craig. Also had the munchkins over for the evening and I was able to prepare dinner and brownies for them to enjoy.
Today I am doing good. I have really backed off my pain meds over the past few days and have be able to a little more each day. This afternoon my in-laws come to take a shift and help out for the next week.
This mornings weigh in...I lost all of the post surgery weight gain and am down .2 lbs from my pre-surgery weight!! Total loss so far 19.7 lbs
