I cannot believe it's been 3 weeks already!  Time has flown by and each day is better.   I'm down 35 pounds from the day I came home from the hospital.  This seems so unreal!

I discovered a great food that I never would have tried before - mashed garbanzos with cilantro and garlic powder!  YUM!  It's like homemade hummus, but better!  I've been living on chicken and scrambled eggs.  I haven't really gotten sick of them, but wanted something with a little more kick to it.  I've been very fortunate that I have not had any foods disagree with me.

So far, so good!

Here I am at 5 days after the surgery.  On day 1 when the nurse told me every day would be better, I surely didn't believe her.  She was absolutely right!  I'm 200% better than I was then.  Everything is tolerable.

I had a great roommate who had her surgery the same day by the same surgeon, yet we had very different results.  I had terrible muscle and air pain.  She had nausea, but none of the other pain.  I thought that was so odd, but now I'm finding that this is the way it is... different for everyone.   If you're reading this and you're pre-op, don't listen to every one's stories... your's is bound to be different.

More later....
