    You are doing such a kind thing for yourself health-wise! And before you know it, the surgery is done, and you are off and running forward in your new life! Best regards to you! Vicki

    Tuesday is your day! Just remember you are on the journey of a lifetime. Try to enjoy every minute. It may sound weird now, but know that you are cared for and prayed for here, and all too soon this will be but a memory and you will be an inspiration to someone else. I am waiting for you on the losers' bench!

Day 4 Post Op.....Ugh!
Well, that was certainly an interesting 4 days. I'm sure it's just a blip on the radar of my life....but it was certainly a big blip. I had to stay an extra day in the bariatric unit since I coudn't keep anything down.....bummer. Got home Thursday night and slept fo 13 hours. With all the gadgets and beeps, don't expect to sleep much in the hospital. I truly think they wait until you are approaching REM to take a tempurature or BP. What a blurr now.

Yesterday I dray 30 oz of fluids including to protein shakes. Today I'm going for 60 oz. The last place I want to end up is back on IV's. Walking is much easier too as I'm able to walk enough to make my dogs bark at me.....(where's mom going without us?).

Today is the last "fluids only" day and then off to puree' tomorrow. Can't wait! Truly....tuna fish even sounds good.
