Drop 20 pounds before my first fill

Well here I am 1 week out almost to the minute and I jumped on my new scale this morning before work and I am down 14 pounds in the first week.  I wish it wasn't so early cause I want to whole world to know.

I know its mostly cause I am on fluids only but still 14 pounds, OMG.

Well I have been back to work for 2 days now and I must say I feel fine.  My Dr. gave me a prescription for demerol and so far I have only taken 3.5 pills.  I can't beleive there isn't more pain.

I have just gone from clear fluids to full fluids and can't wait for real food again.  I am making a point of going for a walk every day, whether it be at lunch or after work.

I lost 9 lbs in the pre-op diet and that was a good start to my surgery day.  Everything went as planned except the weather.  I woke up surgery day to see that we were having freezing rain.  I was the first person at the clinic since its about a 4 minute taxi ride from my apartment.  I waited for a nurse to arrive to let me in.  The weather delayed my surgery about an hour and I was walking out of the clinic to my ride home around 12:30.

Best move of my life I feel

Well here I am writing this with less than 24 hours until my surgery.  I have been nervous the last couple of days but seems to have subsided a little today.  Just watched the trailer for the movie AWAKE and although I was told by my GF not to I dont think it bothered me too much.

I am looking forward to the new life that is waiting for me in the days, months, years ahead.

Thats all for now
