2 weeks and 5 days out

Jan 07, 2009

I am horrible about updating anything that consists of me putting words down!

Well i had my surgery on December 19th and it went really well w/o any complications. I was really nervous at first but they gave me some good medicine  and it made me feel alot better until they wheeled me back to the OR. Once they took me back I was in the hall and bawling my eyes out. The angel nurse lol came and held my hand and gave me more feel good medicine. After they transfered me to the table I don't remember anything else! I must say that was the BEST sleep I have ever had and made a suggestion that they let me do that at least 3 x a week.

My stay in the hospital was ok, I didn't feel like the nurses were as helpful as I would of liked them to be but I did have my husband and mom there. I was up within 4 hours of surgery ready to walk. I tolerated water and everything else they gave me fine. I did so good that I was able to come home then next day (20th). Of course as soon as I got home I got on that dang scale  and noticed that I was up a few lbs. Day of surgery I was 333 and when I came home I was 335. I lost a bunch of water weight though within those few days and got down to 318. I was stuck at 318 for about a week and am now down to 313 so that's a total of 20 lbs.

I was truly feeling like I was doing something wrong because everyone else was losing about 30 lbs their first few weeks but realized that everyone is different and I should be thankful of the 20 that I did lose.

I am starting on more solid foods but chewing really well. I have not had any problems w/ food other than sugar free pudding... let me tell you that is the devil lol..It made my belly hurt so bad that I cannot even look at it anymore.

Well I just wanted to update a little bit and I hope everyone is doing great..

Oh yea I started working out and also started at curves..woo hoo for me
