I made it through the surgery and now I'm working on the healing. I am feeling okay a little soar, this is to be expected after open by pass. I am a bit emotional today, feeling a bit blue. The doctor was great, the hospital was clean and the nurses were wonderful. I have started eating and drinking, but really not a lot at all. I am very fearful so I eat slow and drink the smallest sips. I managed to get 39 calories in yesterday. I never thought I would see the day where I am working on getting calories in. I am struggling with the water as well. It feels so strange. I feel like I am full of air when I drink. I don't know if this is normal or not. Other then that  everything is good. I just wanted to add a short update.

I have put on 15 pounds since I got my date for surgery. UGh now I have another 15 pounds to lose. I start my 2 week pre op diet on Friday so the fun begins. I have been eating everything and anything I can. It has been my way of saying good bye. Although i am afraid I am setting myself up for a huge crash. Time will tell I guess.
