I got home late last night.  It was soooo good to be in my own home, my own bed and have my family around.  Wednesday’s surgery went well but there were a few post –op complications, nausea and S.O.B. (shortness of breath).  I am unable to walk very far, okay hardly at all, but I keep trying.  It is disappointing.  So many people 5 days out say I am down 10 or down 12 or more pounds.  I am barely down four……As I was writing this post I had an epiphany!  Barely down 4 pounds.  Now major surgery helped with some of that but 4 pounds equals 1/3 of the weight I have been able to lose in the last 6 months… and I am not walking around much.  While I am not going to WOOHOO about it I think I will buck up smile a bit and concentrate on a day at a time.  I think I will head to the boards and friends for some pep talk!
