Thanks everyone for your healing thoughts. It was rough but I have been home since Thursday afternoon. I am finally beginning to feel better and have been able to drink a protein soup and shake today for the first time. I had to have my diseased gallbladder removed, a hernia repaired and the sleeve. I was in recovery for 3 hours and was given 30mg of dilaudid for the terrible pain I had. At one point my lower number of the BP was 38. I have no memory of the recovery. The Dr wanted me to go home Wednesday but when I was helped to the bathroom to pee and couldn't get myself off the toilet they all knew I needed another day. I had dilaudid until early Thursday morning when they switched to liquid Tylenol. Since Tuesday I have lost 7 pounds. Isee the Dr again this Wednesday for my 1 week follow up.

Yep it feels like yesterday and today I have made the turn toward feeling better. The only pain I had today was the back shoulder pain. I think it is from when they used the under the shoulder belt to get my off the toilet. I think they pulled a muscle as the bigger PT lady was on my right side and that is where I hurt. My incisions are healing nicely and the food is drinking is not causing meany problems. I got 75 grams of protein in today with my soups, shakes and drinks. I was even able to do some sewing projects. I see the Dr tomorrow for my one week follow up and am looking forward to seeing the first week's weight loss.
