Joining you all on the bench

Well,  I had to go South of the Border but I am finally sleeved and on the bench.  Move over and make room. Hehehehe.... My surgery went great and my recovery even better.  My sugar is now at 100 to 110 without any medications since 2 days after surgery.  I have tons of energy and my house has never been cleaner.  I have to wait for my DH to leave in order to clean because he thinks I am doing too much but he doesn't understand that I have felt so bad for so long and now I have a new life worth getting up for every morning. Dr A was so great and a very caring doctor.  I was expecting the worse or at least to cry there too but he gave me more than hope, he gave me my sleeve.   I am very pleased so far.  Thanks for all the support everyone.

damn girl!  If you've got energy to spare, I've got tons of things to clean around the house....hehe Congrats on feeling great and gaining that "new found you" kinda attitude!  Make us proud! T.

I am absolutely thrilled for you! Way to go!!!

Remember to get those fluids in and your protein. It sounds like you're certainly being active enough! Remember, don't lift anything very heavy at all for several weeks.

Congratulations!!!

I hadnt talked to you in forever and was wondering how you were.  Glad to see you made it to the "other Side" just fine.  Welcome to the bench hun.

Thanks all.  I am having no problem getting down the water and also doing 2 of the protein bullets a day.  I do now understand what is meant by head hunger but not about to give into that.  I just keep telling myself it is just that, head hunger.  Thanks for all the support.

Well, I am just a bench warmer for now, but will soon be an active participant. I hope! It is so good to hear input from the "been there's" You have no idea how important that is to people like me! Thank you and hang in there!!  Sherry
