I'm sharing my journey here, if you'd like to join in feel free, if you'd like to judge move on please. My life is being reinvented at 65 this is the year I'm having Gastric Bypass Surgery. Such a leap, such a change, such a chance.

If you're looking for a crafty creative blog I have several of those and the links are in the sidebar below. I'd love your comments and your support but if you feel you need to humiliate or criticize me please just move on and leave me in peace to climb my mountains and battle my demons by myself.

I'm Home

Baby steps

I came home yesterday afternoon and realize it's going to be a little bigger haul than I thought.

Andi I the bariatric nurse called this morning to check on me and answer the questions I had so far.

Even though I feel on the rough side today each day is amazing on how my body heals.  I'm not hungry at all. We'll see if that lasts.

Really tired so this is a short note to just let you know I'm alive and kicking!

And the weirdest thing yet.  I gained six pounds during my resort hospital stay. Must have bee that gourmet jello!

Hugs my friends. Will right more later.  Thanks for your support.

  1. baby steps Patti, let your body rest and recover from surgery. The weight gain is prob from the fluids you received IV in the hospital. That will go away.

    You had jello? Lucky girl, I had only apple juice and Gatorade and water, LOL.

    Hugs, Paula

  2. Glad to hear you are doing ok. For sure baby steps, but glad to hear your nurse called you today. I think after any surgery there are always questions, and too often we keep them to ourselves. Glad you are not feeling hungry - you don't need that on top of everything else right now. But make sure you keep hydrated, and keep taking those deep breaths even if it does hurt.

  3. Yeah you are home! Now take care of yourself and you will recover quickly. I am sure the weight gain is because of fluids in the hospital. No worries. You are a winner already you know that!!! HUGS
