Home from the Hospital!!!!!
Hello,
This is Dawn again.
Well, I am now on the other side … as it has been said on this list.
I am sooooo totally surprised at how I feel. <smile
I had VBG - done Wednesday morning … by Wed afternoon I was walking to the
bathroom on my own.
On Sat the ng tube was gone and by Sunday I was eating food.
I had to laugh when I ate my first meal… (and still laughing about it)….
just how little it takes to make me feel full.
I came home yesterday from the hospital… and last night ate what I will now
and always consider a meal…. LOL all 4-6 bites of it.
My doc told me I was doing great… a great candidate … and do not be
afraid to try different foods. I did ask about eating foods that are fat
free — sugar free — etc., and he told me not to worry about it for I am
eating so little.
I am finding out that since I had VBG that I did not have to worry about
“diet foods”.
I am also finding that sleeping in a recliner is so much easier than my bed.
(That was after sleeping in my bed for about 2 hours and waking in pain.)
Other that feeling wore out and tired… I do feel great!!!
And I am still in awe … at how little it takes to fill me up.
My fiance is here — taking a couple days off work to help me. He is
literally cooking for one.. and I am eating from his plate.
Well…. I guess I will stop for now. I have some apples that need peeling
— going to make some applesauce.
Tomorrow is 1 week post op — any others out there that feel like I do at
this point?
Dawn
