Hey ya'll, Just wanted everyone to know that the week has not been all that bad. I had surgery on Friday and got home Saturday and have been doing so great. It is amazing just how great ive been doing. I didnt have gas pains, or drainage tube, and am not even that sore. I was went I started out but man how great I feel. I didnt even have the nausea and sure hope dont get it. I know it can be so bad. The dr's were even amazed that I didnt hit the pain pump but three times. I had my gallbladder out years ago lap and thought I was gonna die after that but this has sure been a blessing. I am sipping and walking of corse. I am not a fruity drinker and that has been sorta yukky. Never have liked koolaids, fruity drink*****hes or anything like that. So the sugar free drinks are a lot to get used to but am living for sure. Cant complain. I had my first day out today uptown. I went to sam's and target. I was tired some and sat once and got back up again. So getting the excersice I need I guess. But not overdueing it.Just wanted all you pre ops to know man life is worth living for sure. Cant wait for the results to start rollin in. I owe alot to such great support on here from the first time I got on this website. Soos, candy, sip, deb, ruth, sandra and of corse my buddy tanja.. Aka angel. Just cant wait to start doing more with my grand kids. Ok long enough now... Hugs to all marge
