No news is good news.....

....so that is why you haven't heard from me in a little while.  My gallbladder pain went away just as quickly as it came and the tests did not reveal any stones at this time but the "sludge" does not go away and eventually I will probably have my gallbladder removed.  I hear it is a piece of cake though so I'm not even thinking about it. 

I feel so different already and it has not even been a month!  I have lost 15 lbs before sugery and 25 lbs since surgery and have gone down from size 22/24 pants to size 18.  It is such a feeling to have pants which were sometimes too tight on my waist that they left big red marks by the end of the day now are so loose on me I keep hiking them up all day like Erkel on TV.. haha  "Did I do that?"  You can actually tell that I only have one set of boobs now too. (just kidding) and my pants are sagging in the butt area.  I can't believe I'm telling you all this but you gotta laugh sometime, don't you?  I had scrambled eggs this morning.. well almost a whole scrambled egg and it was real good.  I am allowed soft foods now and have had a few things.  One of the most enjoyable was tilapia I broiled.  It was tasty.  Next week will mark one month since surgery and Dr. says I will be able to lift dumbells, ride my bike and go horseback riding again if I want.  I have not ridden since October so I'm looking forward to going soon!

To all the Mom's out there... Hope you have a wonderful day tomorrow!  Happy Mother's Day!
