Had a Dr's appointment yesterday...Had lost 3 lbs...This time I had gained muscle and lost fat...so thats good...I am down a total of 57 lbs... I did get a .2cc fill yesterday...I have a 4 cc band and I have 3.5ccs in the band right now...I still feel that not getting exercise is what's keeping me losing slow...Its just hard to get going...My son is fixing to start football so he wants to start going to the track and running some so while he's running I'm going to walk to track for as long as I can..and just work my way up til I can walk longer.

My surgery went great...only trouble was that my spleen was in the wrong place...she said my liver was perfect and that I did really good on my pre-op diet...YEA ME!!! As for pain..I remember as I woke up in recovery of discomfort in my chest...and the NASTIEST taste in my mouth...the only person I remember seeing in there at first was my surgeon...there was several others around me...but she was the one I recognized first...then my family was allowed to come it...anyway...they gave me pain meds and that pretty much helped...my mouth was SOOOO dry...Don't know for sure how long I ws in recovery...but they asked me if I wanted anymore pain meds before they took me to the floor...but I didn't need any at the time...When they got me to the room...I was in a little more pain from moving around and moving over to the other bed..and the gas pain in my chest came back...so I got another round of pain meds...I have no idea what it was but it was AWESOME!!!!It knocked EVERYTHING OUT!!! Including me!!! ...after a while I was able to get up...and OMG it felt sooo good to be up...had to go potty...LOL...then since it felt so good being up she asked me if I wanted to sit in the chair for a while...so I did...and they brought me a tray or liquids to try...could only take a lil bit of that...but had also been sucking on ice...which was JUST AS AWESOME AS THE PAIN MED!!! About 5 pm I was able to go home...they gave me more pain and nausea meds for the ride home...and I don't know if that was the the same thing I had before...but I couldn't talk straight that with that one...I couldn't even understand what I was saying...LOL...I don't remember the ride home at all...I do remember getting to my parents house to get my son...don't even remember getting on my house...I do remember I had socks on and I was getting in bed but I didn't wear any shoes coming home and they mowed the yard while I was gone...and I had grass on my socks..so my hubby took them off of me before I got in bed...I didn't need my CPAP after surgery...waking up was what I had problems with before...but no problems this time...I did use it when I go home...because I had sooo much pain maeds in me...I asked my hubby a few days later who put the water in my CPAP...he said that I did it...I DON'T REMEMBER DOING THAT EITHER!!!

All in all everything is going good...I went for a check up 2 weeks out and had lost 5 lbs...for a total of 27 lbs...that day was the first day I had driven and it was ROUGH..my port is on the left side and everytime I leaned over to shut my door it hurt...I ended up having to come home and take some pain meds...everything else I had to do had to wait til hubby got home from work...that afternoon I went out of town and the day we came back home which was 2 days later...I had not pain at all...I have port pain when I over do it...mainly when I do alot of sweeping...I go back to the dr on Sept 4th...will update after that.
