Update

Sep 21, 2012

I can't believe it has taken me so long to update this.

Well I guess to give a quick update:

After 2 weeks with the PICC line in I finally got it taken out and finally started my journey. Everything was going smooth until the week of Thanksgiving. On November 22nd after lunch I developed a very sharp uncomfortable pain. I figured it would go away but after 7 hours and the pain getting worse and not being able to keep anything down, I went to the emergency room. Only to find out that I had a small bowel obstruction and a hernia so Wednesday morning I had emergency surgery and I was released on Thanksgiving. I was able to eat a little bit of Thanksgiving food but not much, I was just happy to be out of the hospital to spend time with my family.

Since than everything really has been smooth sailing. I have adapted and learned how to use my new tool. The only things that I can't eat now are bread and ice cream, which used to be my biggest down fall!
 
Well at the end of August I ended up having yet another emergency surgery, this time to remove my gallbladder, and so the healing and the recovery begins again.

I am now just enjoying being 1 yr out, being able to shop in the Juniors section and having a normal BMI.

Life is good!!!!
