Well today is June 18...its been a little more than a month since surgery and I am feeling really really good.  So good, in fact that I am rarely online or sitting behind my computer anymore.  I am out, exercising, or just plain enjoying the life I was missing out on.  I am so grateful for the speed at which Ive been able to return to my normal activities of daily living.  I feel fabulous, I am NEVER hungry and I look better!  Who could ask for more??  

I swear that never hungry thing is a trip though...I literally have to remind myself that its time to eat.  I DO have a problem always remembering my vitamins...and 38723 pills that I have to take...sheesh, I shouldnt complain, I still have not had to take ANY INSULIN!  That is cause for celebration right there!

I have lost a total of 34lbs now...and I am wearing a size 16 bottom...I need to start some concentrated exercise on my upperhalf...lol.. My arms are so big and I am seeing that surgery is in my future for them.  Its funny because I can see a difference in my wrists...I see these little bumpy things popping out on the sides of them...I think they call them bones!!!!!!  LOL...This is sooo cool! :-D

Well...its done!  Im officially on the other side of the fence!  I cant tell you how happy I am.  I will tell you that if you asked me that same day, I probably would have choked you.  I had to wear oxygen for the first 24 hours, my oxygen saturation was low....I had A LOT of nausea, which wasnt pleasant, and finally after being given a certain drug multiple times (zofran) with no good results I was given something stronger (dexamethasone) and that zapped it out completely.  So as soon as I could move without the dry heaves....everything was good.  I mean... every single time i moved in the bed, i was sick to my stomach....the Decadron did the trick!!
I was up in the halls walking and doing everything that I was supposed to do without a problem.  They didnt discontinue the Morphine pump until the day that I went home.  So Ive been taking Percocet now, which I dont like, I take half a tablet when I feel really uncomfortable.  Otherwise I just deal with the uncomfortability.  Its really not as bad as I would have imagined.  My C/Section was WAY worse. Heck...my bunionectomy pain was worse...LOL...I will say that I am very wiped out.  Exhausted even.  But I dont have to go anywhere or do anything other than drink my protein and walk!  So thats the plan!
Im soooooo happy...

MAY 12th!  I am just 26 days away from a new me!  Im excited and nervous...but ready for a change.
