RN post op lap chole, 200mcg of Fentanyl, still severe pain!
I had lap chole yesterday, and I was pretty nonchalant going into the surgery. However, when I woke up in PACU, I was in severe pain, which surprised me. By the end of my time I'm recovery, the nurse told me she had given me 200 of Fentanyl! I would have to say my pain was poorly controlled. I got back to my suite and when I transferred to my bed my pain was 10! I urinated,drank some coke and eat crackers, and was wheeled outta there still in severe pain. When I got home I took 2 tabs of hydrocodone 10/325 and felt much relief in about an hour. I'm just so surprised that something so strong as fentanyl really didnt help my pain at all. Any insight as to why the fentanyl was so poor for my pain control? I consider myself having a pretty high tolerance for pain!

I did great again yesterday. At work, there have been christmas parties daily. I dodged cheesecake from one end, and cookies and cakes from the other. I know I can indulge if I want, but I feel to vulnerable at this point. Maybe in a few weeks. Plus, Im going to my mom's for christmas and I think I'll splurge then. We'll see. Counting points is getting easier by the day. I have dropped about 3 lbs, probably water weight. I will keep it up for now, one day at a time.....

Hey Bluehair! Well, I did great yesterday...I didnt even eat all my points, which they tell me is a no-no..... THere is soo much unhealthy food availible to me at work that I just refused to eat any of it....I just ate an apple instead.. A secretary offered me some tamales, and they looked so delicious. I was proud of myself for kindly turning her down. She tried to force me but I remained firm.... Next time I'll except them and save them for my hubby.....when my will power is alittle stronger! LOL! Ahhhhhh, this is going to be tough... I did 30min of elliptical trainer at 12mph today, now drinking water...... Have a great day everyone.....

Thank you all! I need the support. Well, I see how the WW program works, I just hope I can stick to it. DH looks at me with doubt in his eyes whenever I tell him the point values of the foods I'm eating. I worked out on my elliptical trainer at 14 miles per hour for 20 min. It nearly killed me. I was sweating like a pig. LOL, at least the exercise is done for the day.... Have a great day everybody!

How do you stay in shape & prevent weight gain during the holidays
Well, I just started Weight Watchers online yesterday. I'm so nervous and afraid of failure. I gained a whopping 50 lbs during nursing school, and Im soo desperate to loose the weight. I have done a search here for anybody on weight watchers, but there is nothing current. Has anybody tried WW and had any luck? Please share your stories because I need support! Help!
