My first WOW moment!

I am so exstatic! I am 9 days post op and I stepped on the scale for the first time since Monday at the doc's office. I am down 13 pounds in 5 days...WOWZERS...I weighed myself twice just to make sure.

Scary Night

I had a scary experience last night. While I was getting ready for bed I felt a pain in my heart area. I thought I was having a heart attack although I had none of the other symptoms of having one. My hubby said it may have been acid reflux as he has had that pain before. He stayed up with me 'till 1am when I was ok to lie down. It freightened me as I have never experienced that pain before. I called the surgeon's office this morning. She asked me some questions and said it was likely trapped gas or acid and said I could stop drinking 1 hr before bed and for one of my perscriptions that is twice a day take them both at night. She said try those suggestions and see if that works! I never want that pain again. I would rather have the worst pms than that pain! LOL

Emotions are running rampant!

I cooked my husband Reggy a meal the other night. He had worked 12 manual labour hours. I was being sweet! I can't eat the damn food anyway. He came home, gave it a strange look. I asked what was wrong with it. He said "nothing. I just wouldn't have prepared it like that." Well I told him that I didn't have to make him dinner. I am just home from surgery and I was being nice. Well I lost it! I left the room and started crying. I couldn't stop. He came to our bedroom and appologized. I said I was going to take a shower. I went in the bathroom and still couldn't stop. He came in and said the food is delicious and tried to console me. I told him to leave the room. I then had a shower. Got out and got dressed and he came in again to say sorry. I sat with him while he ate. He said it was very good but I'm not sure if he was lying or not. I still couldn't stop the tears so I was upset the whole night. I should have been able to say well screw you then and then throw the food in the garbage. People talk about being over emotional after this surgery but I didn't think it would hit this hard so soon. Men sure can be jerks!

Surgery a success!

I got released from the hospital yesterday and am at the hotel for a couple of days and dr will check my incisions on Monday morning and then we can head home. I can't seem to get comfortable or stay comfortable for very long. I Feel 75% better than day of surgery though so I'm hoping that by Monday I will feel much better for the car ride home. No hunger...just thirst...they had to do 9 incisions instead of his usual 6 so I don't look too pretty you know! It was so painful hours after the surgery. I was wishing it hadn't happened. I'm sure I will get better every day though. RIGHT??? But other than that no complications except a swollen hand from the IV...I'm rambling and need to rest now so I will talk to you all later...bye for now!

7 days left

I can't believe how time has flown by...this time next week I will have had my surgery. We leave in 5 days for NY. Things are going well at home still and I hope my blood pressure is down by the time I have my surgery. I am trying to be good with my diet and most days are a liquid diet except for one meal but by the 17th I have to start my surgeon ordered liquid diet. NO PROBLEM! Lets do this!
