I'm Home
I got to come home this morning. And I swear, having the drain pulled out of me was the worst experience of the whole surgery. It took everything I had not to throw up. It's not that it hurt tremendously (although it didn't feel good) but it felt like she was pulling all of my guts out through this one tiny incision. Blauuughgh! She said my drain was very long...I don't know why it was that long, or if everyone'e is that lone, about 18". But I came home, took some liquid Lortab, crashed out and now am feeling pretty good.
I checked the scale, 261! I've already lost 6 lbs. I would normally blow it off and say< "Oh, water weight." except they've had me on IV fluids, so I don't see how I could have lost water weight. Of course all I ate nothing on Thursday and Friday's meals were made up of 1 cube of sugar free Jell-O, half of a sugar free popsickle, and a 1/2 cup of chicken or beef broth. That's all I could eat before I got full. I would swipe the crystal light lemonade to keep with me to drink on during the rest of the day (0 calories).
I'm trying my first protein shake - chocolate, it's Wonderful! LOL Just something different's great.
Well, i'm still kind of tired so I'll keep it short.
weight: 261
