8 days post-op

Whew! I never thought I would make it through the last week! I am finally starting to get my energy back, but boy am I exhausted! I spent the last week cooped up in a hotel room in Toronto. Thank God dear hubby was with me. He has been my angel.....Of course he gets me back when he gives me my heparin shots...but those are almost done too...just a few more days. I have lost 13 pounds since the morning of my surgery. Between that and my pre-op loss I am at 49 pounds. It would make my week if I hit 50 at some point this week! what a wonderful round number! It means I would have lost the equivalent of my 6 year old son!!! I finally get to see him tonight and I am so excited. I have missed him dreadfully!!!!

As I am on the "Ottawa" nutritional program, I get to have pureed food this week. After the optifast and the post-op protein drink. I am jonesing for something fresh. I have to look at my guide, but I am praying that a little mashed avocado may be in my future?

Thanks for all the love and support!
