Surgery done

Jan 10, 2010

  I can't believe that my last post was way back in August.  A lot has changed since then.  I finally had surgery on January 6th, 2010.  It was a quick road through the holidays and I actually did really well continuing my weight loss through the dreaded holiday feasts.  I think having Strep throat twice actually helped  during those six weeks.  All total I lost 16 pounds before surgery.  I was a  little worried but it all worked out. 
  I was a complete mess the couple days before surgery, lots of crying, not bad crying but happy, nervous crying.  I cried pretty much all through the pre op prep and my meeting with Dr. Pierce and the whole team.  I kissed my husband and told him I would see him soon, and I did.  I have been pretty sore and today has been my best day I have had to try to get in all my liquids and some protein and even food.  Cream of wheat has been great to me the last three days.  I'm hoping I can continue to enjoy it.  I haven't ventured into soups yet, just haven't had the craving and honestly a little scared.  So far everything I have had works.  I'm not looking forward to finding the one thing that doesn't work.  I have not vomited once and would like to keep it that way.  I have had some tummy spasming, doesn't really hurt just uncomfortable, I have slightly altered the temp of my drinks and so far it has gotten better.  I look forward to mash potatoes and eggs and cottage cheese. 
   I can't wait until Tuesday and I can have my drain taken out. yipee.  I'm looking forward to the healing and being able to get back to normal and watching the weight come off.  I'm so Thankful.
