BACK HOME!!!

[Sheba Raviv]

It's so good to be home. Getting the staples out was the best feeling. Took the scenic route home so it took 5 hours instead of 3.5 hours. I kept moving my body around to avoid clots.

Going to work tomorrow so that I don't have to think of myself the whole day.

Lost 6 pounds since the surgery, that makes 12 all together.

I'm so excited. My main staple these days is: pretzels, goldfish, chicken soup broth, V8, probiotic yogurts, regular yogurts, and ........G2 ugh. I always get the sour taste in my mouth, so right before I go to sleep I rinse it with some ice cubes to dissipate the bitterness.

My kitties got fat while I was away.

Love, Sheba

P.S. By the way, which site am I going to keep posting? Consensus please.... yahoo group, this site, mgb.help????? Which one. I am constantly going back and forth posting the same thing everywhere.... it's a bit annoying, don't you think? So, where are we going to be?

That's fine. if you're only eating a little, don't worry just drink a little. It's meals you don't want to drink with - takes up space and pushes the food out too quick.

[Sheba Raviv]

That's a plan!!! LOVE THOSE CHEEZ ITS!!! How long do I have to wait to drink after eating those? I wait about 15 minutes??

[Edie Elting]

I'm not surprised - Are you tired, feeling icky? Eat something salty, drink some fluids and get some sleep!

[Sheba Raviv]

I think I over did it today.

[Allison Everitt]

This site by far!!!!!! Everyone is very open and honest!!!! Take those naps!!!!

[Edie Elting]

Hey Sistah! Take it easy with the work schedule! And keep sipping and eating. Hugs! Edie

Sheba, that's great but don't forget to get lots of rest, you are probably riding high on the experience right now but remember that your body need rest and you don't want to crash in a few days.
It just keeps getting better from here, enjoy every day!

[Sheba Raviv]

Believe it or not, I am at work right now. Everyone is amazed how good I look after having had major surgery. I am proud of my war scars!!!! It's lunch time, now... going to have my chicken broth. Ate cheez-its and LOVE them. Slept well last night. I'm very happy. My face has gotten thinner, lost 13 pounds in a week and a half. (Started eating light 3 days before surgery). I will be leaving work earlier because I am starting to feel gravity pulling me down. Until next time.... have a great day!!!!

I also notice that the Obesityhelp.com site is also heavily monitored by someone called shoutjoy so I've stopped using that site for any comparision WLS information now that I have decided on the MGB.
