Well I had my surgery on December 10th and was home on December 12th.   This surgery was a breeze post operatively as far as incision pain and discomfort go compared to my c-sections.   6 little tiny incisions all healing wonderfully.   I had to do the 2 week pre - op liquid diet (slim fast or Carnation Instant Breakfast) and lost 11 lbs then.   Since the day of surgery I lost a total of 23 lbs until I hit the dreaded stall exactly 2 weeks out from surgery.  Finally today (a week and a half later) I saw a movement on the scale of 1/2 a lb.   So I'm hoping I'm over my stall now.   I did do a bad thing this week, I was craving chicken so bad so I ordered some chicken wings from Domino's Pizza and ordered the kids and my hubby pizza.  Well about 30 mins after eating I dumped, or at least I"m pretty sure it was dumping from the fat content.  I honestly thought they baked those wings but I am now convinced they must fry them and then when they deliver them they prepare them with whatever spices.   Oh I was so sick, never threw up but I was wishing I would and for me to say that.......I was hurting since I am one to pray to not throw up when I have a stomach virus.   I was still nauseated the next morning.  

I am so thankful for my surgery.    I know I could have never done this and been successful in getting this much weight off without the surgery.

Happy New Years to everyone!
