I Made It Over!

Sep 21, 2009

Today is one week since my surgery! Thus far I can say I have had NO complications . I had my first follow up visit with the surgeon on yesterday....wait for it........12 pounds lost  My hospital stay (2 days) went well (except for a roommate from #%**) I would have to say the worst expererience has been pain on my left side-Ugh! 

I get to eat a scrambled egg this morning- (am so looking forward to chewing). I have worked my walking back to 30 minutes; not without some tiredness, but I'm pretty sure that is all a part of the process.  I started my multivitamin and suppliment regimen this morning (chewables).

Oh yeah, we stopped my blood pressure meds when I left the hospital cuz my BP was so good....but it shot back up. So I am taking one of my pills again until I see my PCP tomorrow. I think the surgeons get real excited to see us "cured" from all co-morbities and jump the gun a bit on medication, but it's all good, cuz when I get more weight off-I can stop the meds for sure.
Another HUGE deal....my blood sugar....has dropped 30 points I have been checking everyday and it is not going back up! Thank God!  

Ok, I guess I have rambled enough...I'm gonna go walk so I can eat my wonderful breakfast! Please keep me in your prayers and I do for all of you. LET'S DO THIS THING!
