Wow, the weight is falling off and everyday I am feeling better. I cannot wait to get to Weds. So I can start the soft / puree'd foods. No longer having to take the Roxicet for pain. It no longer hurts to walk to the bathroom in the mornings. I used have bad pains in the bottoms of my heels when I first got up and limped and hobbled to the bathroom everymorning. I hated that. Well I haven't had that since I got home from the hospital. Still have a little congestion (Asthma) left over from the anesthesia but I still do my breathing exercises. Going to the gym with my husband as soon as he gets home from work. Walking really makes me feel better. I miss the ellipitical but I will gladly wait.

One thing I have noticed is I still have a lot of pressure under my boobs after sitting for more than 15-20mins. This makes my insides feel all bunched up. So that keeps me moving. I also noticed that I was refreshed when I woke up this morning and didn't feel like "sleeping in". So I figured I'd pass this along to you guys. My Unjury order arrived this morning. Man these things are sweet and I don't mean slang sweet. I feel as if I am sipping on sugar, Other than that they are ok.
