I'm drainless!!

Jan 15, 2010

Whew, how good this feels!  I had my appointment this morning to have my tube removed.  I was scared to have it pulled out, and the Dr. goes 'think of it as we're starting a lawnmower, YANK!!!'...hahaha...and that is totally what they did!  Well, not quite THAT fast/hard, but it came out in a second and so was not a big deal.  It's such a relief not having that thing hanging from my side anymore!

I am down 12 lbs. from my surgery date a week ago.  AMAZING!  So I'm now a total of 23 lbs. lost from the 1st of this year when I started my liquid diet to prepare for the surgery.  23 un-beFREAKING-lievable POUNDS! 

I was cleared to eat whatever works for me.  No structured 'full-liquid, puree, soft food' stages.  I am just to start on full-liquid with some puree here and there and if I tolerate it, I can add other things as I see fit.  I love that they have given me that freedom.  The same with exercise.  Whatever I can tolerate.  Walking, light aerobics, etc.  I can't wait to get back to the Wii Fit!!!  Everything is left up to me and how I feel when doing these things.  I love that.
