Re: 10 Days Until I'm a Loser, Too!

[Guest guest]

,

CONGRATS on your date.........One thing I can tell you is don't worry

about bringing everything in the world to read or listen to and so on while

your in the hospital, I brought all kinds of stuff, and I slept almost the

whole time I was in the hospital......I never even pulled that stuff

out.....And it didn't hurt nearly as bad as I thought it was going

to.......I didn't have much pain at all.......Just allot of nausea due to

the drugs.......

Oh Mike... I dont know... I was in for 4 days after my " lap gone bad

and became an OPEN " and I took my little dvd player and 3 dvd's of

desperate housewives (4 episodes each). I watched them ALL! lol I

couldnt read though, my eyes kept crossing from the pain pump. I had

lots of pain.. but I hear the lap surgeries are a breeze. I wish I

could of had lap. Oh well...

Congratulations !!!

I am 1 month post-op, so surgery feels like just yesterday. I did

have a decent amount of pain afterwards, but my magic morphine button

was wonderful the first couple of days. After those first 2 days I

was feeling great! I was up walking the halls and wasn't in much pain

at all! I can tell you once you start walking you are going to feel

better. The more I walked, the better I felt.

My surgeon and his team really did an excellent job of preparing me.

I was not in the dark about anything.

The only thing that really caught me off guard was how fast I wanted

real food. I knew I would have to deal with my internal food battles

at some point, but I really didn't think it would hit me so soon. The

first day home, my boyfriend ate dinner in front of me...real food. I

told him to, thinking it wouldn't phase me, but the smell and sight

of food was so weird. Advertisements on TV were killing me and food

seemed to be consuming my every thought and I wasn't the slight bit

hungry. It really made me realize how often I was eating just to eat.

I had a pretty hard time there for about a week.

Other than that everything went fine and I'm sure it will for you

too! Any amount of pain you feel is worth it the first time you jump

on a scale and see the weight loss!!!

Good luck! I'm sure everything will be fine and you will be feeling

great before you know it!!

Hi Everyone,

is going to be on October 12th which is kind of ironic because that was

my anniversary with my ex-boyfriend. Now I am going to have something

much happier to think about from now on when October 12th rolls around!!

I'm so excited, scared, and nervous. Just about any emotion you can

name, I'm feeling it!

I was wondering if anyone had any advise along the lines of - " what I

wish I would have known before surgery " - that they would like to share

with me. I think that would be really helpful.

Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers. I can't wait to be a loser

too!

Hey, can anyone tell me why I am getting LOSERS emails in my bulk mail? I got

about 20 today. Maybe that is why we haven't been getting some replies. I

don't know. any ideas?
