Hello. Just wanted to post an update. About 4 months out now and 75 pounds lighter. Very happy. Can see and feel the changes dramatically already. Have a way to to, but very pleased and on my way. Unfortunately I also was diagnosed with cervical cancer 2 weeks ago and underwent a radical abdominal hysterectomy last friday. The blessing is the physician's are confident they got it all and nothing spread. Two major surgeries in less than 2 months was scary, but I am just glad it's all over. I am home recuperating til after the New Year. Love, J.

Hello all. Well I am 2 days shy from being exactly 2 weeks post op. I must say everyone is right when they say "it get's better everyday". I don't think I was prepared for the emotional battle though. WOW! I am in mourning. I really miss my food. My whole life has changed already now that food is pretty much out of the picture. I no longer am thinking about what I can eat next. I think I need to take up painting or knitting..LOL. Healthwise, I feel okay. It was a lot rougher than I thought it was going to be. My incision is uncomfortable. I am looking forward to getting the staples out tuesday and moving on to soft foods. I have a hard time with pain at night, but am taking nothing during the day. I am getting stronger. I make myself get up, dressed, and out everyday. The kids keep me busy. Today my parent's took them to give me a break since my hub works so much. It's nice to have "quiet" and not have to worry about cooking for them and watching "SpongeBob SquarePants"! LOL. I am trying to keep a good attitude. Weight loss wise the first thing I noticed is my ankles which used to BLOW UP no longer are swelling and all my shoes are too big. Funny, huh?

Hello all you wonderful people. I am officially home and "post-op". Gosh, it feels so good to say that. 99% of the people at that hospital were great. You know there is always a couple of people who are ignorant by nature, but mostly everyone treatly me beautifully. Had my surgery friday, August 9th - open VBG. Long incision line - stapled and the pain is totally bearable. I am more weak than anything else. I am shocked at that part. Guess I had forgotten how much surgery takes out of you. Had a slight complication the day after surgery my heart raced for no reason. Moved me into the step down unit and I saw a team of cardiologists and had a run of heart studies - everythig turned out just fine though. I am just weak, weak, weak, but truly thankful it's over and I made it through just fine. My family and husband have been pillars of strength for me. I adm on a full liquid diet for the next 2 weeks and it's funny, I don't even feel hungry. I cannot manage more than a few bites of soup or jello - but I manage to get the fluids in anyway I can so I don't dehydrate myself. Thanks to all for the supportive and brightening messages! From here on in I know I'll feel better everyday and when I weight starts peeling off I know it'll all be worth it.
