Its 2 days post op and I should be able to go home today. The first day I came out of surgery the pain was intense I cried "what I had I done to myself!" I was hooked up to a pain pump and also given extra pain medication to get thru the 1st 24 hours, it was so much that I could barely function I would sit and couldnt even open my eyes I was so doppey. But then yesterday morning they switched me oral pain medication and took all my iv's out and I felt much more function-able.
Steve, the kids, and my mom all came yesterday to visit and Ayden and Cece held my hand and took me for a walk around the hall. They are so sweet! Then later everyone left and my Aunt Margene and Uncle Bob stopped by which was great because almost 2 years ago she had the surgery done too so she offered lots of advice.
Whewww I cant tell you how hard it was getting thru that first day but wow I just feel so much better already.
Oh almost forgot sooo I did have the laparscoptic surgery! They didnt have to do the full incision. After fasting those 3 days before surgery I dropped from 421 to 397! Woo hoo that 24 lbs in 3 days saved me, Praise the Lord!
So today is going to be a full liquid diet yesterday was just clear liquids. The full liquid will be what I will be going home on and will be using for the next 3 weeks I believe.
I wont be able to cook for the family the next couple weeks so hopefully friends and families will be able to help me with some ready casseroles that I can throw in the oven or just anything to make life easier for a couple weeks will be great.
Anywhooo thanks for all the prayers and concerns, I made it thru because of the strength and power of God. He isnt done with me yet!
