Going under the knife!

Almost like another chance.... :banana:
Get rest and follow doctor's orders!!! :gj:
Take care :D

I'm back! Came home yesterday afternoon, rather sore but home which is helping. I'm in between my medication at the moment so feeling a little out of it. Thanks again to all who sent positive thoughts my way :gj:

Good to see you back Nick, apparently everything went OK and all that worrying was for nothing. Thats usually the way it goes, the anticipation feels worse sometimes then the actual procedure. Time now to rest and recuperate and spend your time on important things like snakes.....

Nick, Im glad your home. Get well soon!:sunny:

Nick, I'm glad it went well and your back with us, now take it easy and get better. :hug:

Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a brave one you are!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rest and go slowly and be strong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Glad it went well! You know what's good for a quick recovery?

A pink elephant, of course! :pinkele:

You are the man! Get ready for tasty protein drinks and when you really want to get wild, Crystal Light! The pounds will rapidly fall off now!

That's great news Nick! Be careful and rest. Can't wait to see the before and after . . . .

Thanks for the welcome back! :D Wife will be happy when i'm up and about so she doesn't have to care for the snakes and rats lol. I'm going to try and make this into a little journal of progress.

Day 4 post-op - Weight 296 (300 pre-op)

Feeling alot better today. Had horrible gassy pains the first few days and the pressure was killing me. It is finaly gone though and I can get up and move around with just the expected incision pain and stomach soreness. Going to watch my sons babseball game this afternoon which will be nice to get out of the house for a little while and do some walking. Also started my protein shakes this morning, not really hungry even though I haven't had solid food since last Sunday which is nice. All in all feeling pretty good today, looking forward to next week so I can start semi-solid (blended) food :banana:

dsirkle - Just started the protein, not too bad, I replaced 1 meal a deal before surgery with it to get used to it. The sugar free pops have been my life saver as of right now. It was homemade soup broth the first few days but now it's the popsicles. Didn't realize how hard getting 4oz every hour would be lol.

I'll get up a before pic later on today. Thanks again all! :bow:
