Ok.. I went back to work today after what I thought was four long weeks. I am so damn tired after today all I could do is come home, take a shower and go to bed. My energy is NOT what it used to be! Why didn't someone tell me it would be this way? And what about the people in the office... this is just day one and if one more person tells me how "good I look now" LIKE I WAS A DOG BEFORE! Heck I have only lost 25 lbs... dayum! 

I have already encountered the haters amongst my friends and family... did I share that with you all before? Well if I did, I am only saying it now because it is more in my face than before. I am hoping that folks will get over themselves pretty quick and just be normal like we were before, because I am sure not about to let anyone stop my shine! I have waited to long for this!

Guess what? I tried on a suit that I could not fit before and it buttoned! I stood in the mirror and almost passed out. Next.... rollercoaster at Great America!

Breaking News - I have a girl crush on someone! (hee hee)

Ok folks... I am one week post surgery. Thank God! I stil can't eat food, I just want something to chew... even it I have to chew it 30 times before swallowing like the orientation manual says. I am so sick and tired of broth, cream soups, and sugar free jello. But, its part of the process so let me stop whining and do what I have to do. 

Today I was able to walk on the treadmill and take my butterfly tape off. The incision sites don' t look that bad..I am a bit impressed. My attending physician that was doing rounds in the hospital called my surgeon a "butcher"  but I am sure he was kidding. So I guess I am on my way!

Ok, so I guess I better get going, I really need to get a better computer chair!

Well I did it! I had my surgery 3 days ago. I am still dealing with the intial after effects, but I am hopeful that they will soon subside. What is the deal with the nausea? or the constant spitting? And the gas.... my gosh!!! I am slowly trying to build up to getting in all of the fluids, my fear is that I am dehydrated. I get tired sooo easily. Honestly I can't remember a thing about the surgery, I was in recovery getting prepped, and the next thing I knew I was in my hospital bed wondering what the heck have I done? I am on day 3 which was a better day than day 2, so I just hope that they all get better going forward. Well, I have worn myself out again sitting up typing this message... I will make an effort to keep this updated.

Well, I have 5 days to go before what I like to call my "New Life" date. I have been so busy, I can't believe its almost here!  I have so much left to do to prepare my home and get mentally ready too. I have not been doing as well on my pre-op diet as I should have been and I am hoping that I can pull it together. I thank the Lord for my husband, he has been so supportive. Tomorrow we will go and shopt for vitamins and new protien shakes..... I am getting so excited! 

Well its 2:15 am I am still up so I better do something productive. I am going to start laundry!  

Until tomorrow....
