Hello everyone! Yes, I know its been a while...I've made it upstairs to my computer where I can get on OH.com, can't seem to get it on my blackberry. Going up the stairs is quite a challenge for me, very painful.  I guess in time that will get better.  So, I'll fill you guys in on what's been going on and how I've been, It may be a bit scattered, but I'll try to fit everything in.

So, if anyone would've warned me that being an EMOTIONAL BASKETCASE was a part of this, AHHH, I'm not sure what would've been my decision.  I AM an EMOTIONAL BASKETCASE!!!!!!!! I cry for EVERYTHING! and when I say EVERYTHING, I mean EVERYTHING...today, however was better. :0)  I still have my oxygen, I did go for a walk this morning, it was so peaceful, I did it without my oxygen and did VERY WEll, I must say.  Things here at the house have been pretty tense...my huband and my son are NOT getting along, and there are about to be some major changes in our lives, just pray for us.  Its no wonder I've been so stinkin emotional.  But, I'm still trying to hang in there.  I weighed myself this morning and I weigh 179, but, but, but, but, I notice my pants are loose, but I can't button them, I think its because I'm still swollen around my belly.  I'm still passing gas! Yes, ahhh, gas! ha ha..having my bm's they are still very loose, but everything seems to be coming/going well in that department.  I have had a few episodes of vomitting and nausea, of course, jello and crystal light as I said before are NOT a fan of the "pouch" So, I try to stay clear of that, but every once in a while, I'll sneak a small littl bite.  I am now 3 weeks post op and I just had to call my Doctors office because I am ready for FOOD! I asked them if I could have my pureed diet or do I have to wait til Thursday after I see my gorgeous Doctor, and the nurse said, I could start it!!!! HALLELUJAH!!!!! Do you hear the bells ringin???? lol...I was so excited! I am able to eat an egg! I took 1 egg, 1/4 tsp skim milk and a very tiny slice of cheese, mixed it together and wahlah! An egg! I got to eat it with a baby spoon, loved every single bit of it! I did eat 1/2 of the egg and had about 1/2 maybe a little more left over, but gosh, I was taking my time and enjoying it for sure.  Today, I had a couple of the girls visit me from work, and I really enjoyed their company.  That was much needed, so to them I am grateful.  Mother's day was pretty ugh, I did spend it alone, my boys were not here, my husband had to work and I just cried and cried...you know, that emotional basketcase type thing going on...lol..I promise I will speak to my Doctor about that on Thursday.  lol  I am hurting in my mid section of my abdomen, like it feels like its stabbing me or something when I get up and the rest of my tummy is not as sensitive, so I'll be talking to him about that.  I have been keeping a heating pad on it to see if that will help, but, nah, not really.  I'm still sleeping in the recliner because if I lay too far down, I get really nauseas and start heaving and then I throw up. Kinda wierd, but, then again, at this point I'm not surprised by anything. lol..Let's see, Nothing else really going on, just excited to have real food, no clear liquid crap! UGh, a month of that is exhausting physically and emotionally! Oh! I will say this, and maybe some of you can help me, but my protein, oh gosh! Its soooo sweet, the sweetness factor....ugh, it kills me! Any advice on some "normal tasting" vanilla or french vanilla protein shakes?  Ok, well I'm gonna wrap this up, I'm sorry I've not been on here in a while, but I hate walking up the stairs. Love to you all! God Bless!
