Surgery completed -- check!

Dec 30, 2010

Well surgery was Monday and all went well.  I was very groggy on Monday afternoon but was wide awake on Tuesday and hitting the hall ways to get my walking in.  My husband was calling me speed racer.  I felt great, had hardly any pain, just mostly discomfort in my stomach.  I had WLS before in 1988 and that band was removed in March but because of that my stomach was a little extra thick so Dr. Garth wanted to keep me in an extra night for observation.  Everything went well.  All vitals were fine, I was moving, taking my shower, good spirits, etc.  I was ready to go home!

I had lost 15# on my pre-op diet and came out weight 9# more due to the extra gas.  I was down 4# this morning (three days post-op).  I'm not going to go crazy on the numbers, just focus on losing weight and eating healthy.

Surgery: Monday - 27-Dec-2010 8am
Released Wednesday - 29-Dec-2010 1pm

Am sipping alot of water, Isopure, coffee and ate some fat free Greek yogurt today.  Will have some cream of something soup tonight.
