Hey ya'll. Good news here! I went to Dr. Black's to have my staples removed today and for my check-up....(I am 12 days post-op) and I weighed in at 320 lbs. WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOO! 39 pounds gone forever! Thank you God for this "tool"! I am never hungry (yet). I hope I continue not to be, lol. Makes everything alot easier for me! My Dr. said I could start walking and he would see me in 2 weeks. I am feeling better and better everyday. Just still no energy here to speak of, yet......lol. I am sure if I am patient, it will eventually return. (hopefully) Well, I won't keep ya'll. Just had to share my news. God Bless Us All and Peace~~~

Traci. I am so glad you are up and around. Wow! did you have a time or what? But you are right 29 pounds is 29 pounds. You know I have a ton of questions so when you are up to it e-mail me and I will call you. Glad you are home. Your friend Sherr. Sis says get well too.

Yes Ya'll, I came home yesterday. Surgery was the 7th and surgery for my hernia was the 10th. That's why I had to stay so long. Day of surgery I got there at 5:45am, checked in at 6am, changed into gown and was rolled into the waiting room around 6:30ish. The nurse that took me back was so great, brought my daughters back and everything to wish me well. The kids did great even though I could tell they were nervous, Bless their hearts! Surgery lasted from 7 til around 12. Dr. ran into a few adhesions from old surgeries that had to be worked around. Found a small hernia that he left...(had to go back in Saturday and repair though). After my tube came out they had me on liquids (water, grape juice) then the next day carnation instant breakfast and the others. Had to stop the liquids for the hernia repair, but the following day they resumed them. I was down 29 pounds yesterday morning but I am sure I will not continue losing THAT fast. But hey, 29 is 29 anyways. A GREAT START!!! Thanks to everyone that signed my page or posted for me. I am totally GREATFUL to GOD for this new chance!!!!!!!! HE brought me through this!!!! I have many hurdles in front of me, but with my family here and on this board i know WE will make it!!!!! God Bless Us ALL and Peace~~~
