MIA

Hello everyone.  I am so sorry to have been gone for so long.  Well all went well with my surgery.  I had it on the 18th as planned and then went home on the 20th.  I had a ruff day on the 21st until about 6:30 pm until my mom flew in to help withthe kids.  I have been taking advantage of her being here and helping me out.  I do alot of walkig and can not wait to be released to start using the gym and eat stage 4 foods.  So far I have had no ill affects from anythin g I have eaten.  I am down a total of 28lbs since I started my liquid diet.  and 16lbs since my surgery day.   My husband is Navy and yay he finaly came home yesterday after being gone for 2 months.  Not for very long(maybe 10 days) and then gone for 6 months but atleast he is home for now.  Thanks for all the support I have recieved from everyone.   Marion

Great that things went so good for you - and I am real happy your husband got home too!!  You are gonna do just fine I swear! Rosie

So glad to hear you are home and doing so well!  I am sure having your Mom around has been wonderful, not to mention your husband!!!  I can remember how things went with the workups and floats when my husband was assigned to a ship...I have so much respect for Navy service members and especially  their families!!!  Congrats on the weight loss -- you are doing great!  :)
