    Yea! Nita is back among the living again. She was feeling pretty crappy yesterday, anesthesia took quite a while to dissapate but she is 'eating' and drinking and as soon as she can get fluid intake high enough she can go home. She got hardly anything in yesterday at all but today is going full steam ahead!

    just got back from seeing Nita in the hospital. Did three laps with her and she was pooped out. She is still getting over the haze of anesthesia and feeling kind of sick but she knows that will pass. It was great to see her. ~ Robin

    Just spoke with Nita - 7 hours after her scheduled surgery time. She only got to her room about 2 hours ago. She is still foggy and feels like a truck hit her but has already done a lap around the nurses station and is looking forward to seeing me tomorrow. ~ Robin

Struggles
on July 15, 2011 2:14 pm
My weight stopped like a freight train and now it is like I have never had surgery.  I eat too much and the gain in right away.  I am up from my lowest at 117 to now 124.  Doesnt seem like much?  Well, my work uniform pants are tight and it is a gain.
I signed up with Sparkpeople and have begun to track everything I put in my mouth.  All of these months never counting calories, just concerned that I was getting my protein and water in, that fun has stopped and now I am here. 
This journey has not been ez from the get go.  I struggled to get my surgery, then I struggled after surgery, then I struggle with my liver enzymes, with a hernia too.  Now, I struggle with my weight.  Yet again.  I use this tool, but it is not a magical tool.  One day the ez princess with flash her magic wand and make everything ez-er for me, right?

One thing I do love is my size 6 levi slight jeans from HSN.  I feel like a little butterfly in them!
