Hi yall...

Surgery was a breeze!  52 minutes in OR and 36 hours in the hospital and I'm finally home!  I even stopped by WalMart on the way home... I feel great!  Of course there is pressure but other than that...zero pain.  I freakin love my surgeons! 

July 6th - Begining proccess  - 299lbs
July 23rd - Day of Sugery - 270lbs

Today - Discharged from hospital - 267lbs!!!!!!!!!!!

Hoorah!!!

Happy to be home and finally a LOSER!

Thank you so much for all of your support leading up to my surgery and I'm quite sure there's plenty more to come!!

yay Brandi,
I was wondering about you today.  Im so glad you are home now and feeling good!  Congrats!!!  Are you going to attend any of the classes ? I went this tues and thurs... look forward to seeing you soon.  Missed you at coffee this morning but didn't expect to see you being 2 days out lol

big hugs!!

Jackie

Hi Jackie...

Yes, I do want to attend the Thursday class so I will see you there! How do you get pass this thirst but can't drink much of anything?  This is sooo odd to me. I felt myself drink either to much or too fast and I got that pain in my shoulder last night which sent me to bed early.  A sip is hard to quantify I guess.  I'm learning...  

LOL... that would have been awesome to actually make to LBC freash out the hospital!! 

Hugs Lady,

Hey Brandi...
The drinking has gotten better throughout the week lol.  At first I could barely eat a third of a jello cup without feeling full.  Now I can eat the whole thing lol  I don't know if thats a good thing.

The lifestyle classes are every Tuesday at 5:30 and the support groups are 2nd and 4th thursdays.  Just fyi :)

Keep making progress!   I just can't wait to get these staples out of me on tuesday :)

big hugs,

Jackie

Excellent, Brandi!! Were you in LB Memorial? i was there a bunch this week, dropping off a neighbor to visit her hubby.... i should have asked if that's where you were gonna be...

alas...

but, I'm so glad you are home safely! rest up....stay hydrated...

Lori

Hi Lori....

I wish I were at LB Memorial but my insurance required a COE so I had to go to Chapman in Orange.  

Staying hydrated will be a big challenge for me... I'm thristy I know it but I can't drink enough right now.  Hoping that eases up soon!

Thanks....
