Day 10

Well just weighed and I am down 24 pounds total including my pre-op diet weight loss. I really haven't noticed much yet except my face may look a little smaller. I am feeling real good now just a few pulls when I move the wrong way. My incisions have all healed and I am learning when the band is telling me to stop eating. I am looking more forward to the next month so see how much I can loose. I will not see my parents until the end of December and hope I can loose some so they can tell a difference. The next accomplishment for me to achieve is to make sure I start my Wii zumba every night before I allow myself to go to bed. Once I have achieved that goal I want to force myself to get out of bed early so that I may do my exercise before beginning the day and then do something active with my kids in the evening. Goal one physical activity.

Surgery till day 4

So here goes the beginning of my journey. While on the pre-op liquid I did cheat some but not much at all. I lost 11 pounds during the two weeks.   The day of surgery went pretty well. Checked in and then surgery went as scheduled started at 7:30 am and I was done by 8:30 even with a small hernia repair. I really don't remember much until about 11:00 when they moved me up to short stay. Getting out of the bed into the other bed was not fun. I had no idea what gas pain felt like and wow did it hurt. I have been through two child births and plastic surgery but this one topped them off. On a good note once I got over all the anesthesia I was able to get up and walk then life was much better. I was released from the hospital around 1:30 that afternoon and headed home.   Once I arrived home things were pretty good walked at wal-mart for awhile and felt really good after all the walking. Tired but no pain. Day one and two at home were pretty much the same figuring out how to move and turn in bed were a challenge.   Day three was Monday and back to work I went. I teach HS science so not a lot of physical labor just active kids. I was really tired by the end of the day and soreness was creeping up on me. I also recommend that you were really loose clothes on your abdomen or you will not be happy.   Day four was really tough getting out of bed I think work yesterday may have stressed me a little but I am back at work and we shall see how it goes.
