WOW WHAT A DIFFERENCE A DAY CAN MAKE!!!

Aug 06, 2017

Hi-it's me MJ!  Yesterday was AMAZING.  I was so fortunate to reach out to my Cirlce and a few FB groups to let everyone know how badly my day went on Friday.  Everyone was so re-assuring.  I had no choice but to got to bed and make the next day better and I DID!  RESPECT THE POUCH.  Easy does it.  Pay attention.  I was up early.  I did my vitamins and I drank 4 medicine cups of water SLOWLY.  Then a half an hour later I had my shake, again SLOWLY. I have decided to split my chewable vitamin it is just too big.  There is no such thing a rushing now.  I will have to be much better with my time management. I got lots of rest.  I only had to take one pain med but not even sure if that was necessary.  OH and I had my first BM!!! I was so happy it was I was like a toddler being toilet trained LOL Molly and Paul laughed so hard at me.  Well come on it was Day 4 and if I didn't get one by day 5 I was going to have to my stuff (more expense) and I didn't want to do that!  Two things I did notice is that I feel/hear a popping sound mid section close to my groin when I walk now - that is new and I have HUGE bruising where my incision is to the left of my belly button.  I hope this is normal but I am going to call the nurse this morning to be sure.  I decided to go to 10 minutes between sips, that worked out okay.  Again I was paying close attention to how my liquids went down and how they settled.  I had a lot of people checking in on me and my darling BF's children were in 19 & 22 (they are lovely and very supportive) I just couldn't hang out much because of the food, I am not ready to be around people eating just now.  I spent some time in my room when I was not walking.  I saw a movie on Amazon Prime called Funny People with Adam Sandler - quite a cast - dark comedy, not one of my favourites.  I am sad to hear my good friend Candace (same day surgery as me) was readmitted due to some complications.  She had a bad day the same day as I did but worse. She went to the hospital - saying that maybe she progressed too fast and her body wasn't ready (whatever that means) so they admitted her for a couple of days.  I pray they will figure it out and she will be okay.  

I watched something on the Baritastic Social FB group out of the States.  They have this Bari Dr. (I am not sure of his name) but he was talking about a firming cream for the face and body from Arbonne I called a friend who sells it - I will keep you posed on this. Last thing I want is a neck that looks like a Vagina! (Fat Bastard, Austin Powers) I will get you the name of the Dr. as soon as I can find it! 

For today, the family is going to Oakville for Mitchell's birthday and I will stay home.  I am not looking forward to the 45 minute car ride and again I am not ready to face all the food.  They understand.  I will be ready for Thanksgiving for sure!  

I am looking forward to keep moving forward.  I hope you have a great day!
