Day 9 after surgery

:clap2: I feel GREAT physically and mentally. I am not being restrained on getting in and out of bed or chairs, movement is just as normal as it ever was and thats a big plus. Thought I would have to pamper myself much longer. I now am eating mussie foods and I even had a 1 oz thing of cottage cheese with some pinnapple juice in it :scared:. I am still taking my Zinnet and little pills but I think thats more because I was told to . My wounds are all but healed and they are no longer covered, dry and healing great. Oh, did I mention. I LOVE my band HU (Hardware Upgrade) I do not mind being a borg. I believe that with a great Dr like Dr Lopez and the strength/power of prayer this has been better than a dentist vist cause I never could handle the dentist. I have a small elevation in the middle of my chest where the band is but I suspect that with a signafigant weight loss this will go down and set better inside my body. IN the meantime it really is not an issue. I ate supper with my family last night (mashed potatoes and gravy and that alone was a major accomplishment, course they laughed at my portion but I got full on 2 oz of potatoes and 3 oz of gravy and I was through. I even went to bed at 10pm cause I was excited about seeing tomorrow. Now, I just don't get why I haven't read or found in this forum more success stories like mine, I just hope I am not blowing my own horn too soon cause being the optimist I am also has a piece of me that is pesimistic waiting for the hammer to drop but I hope never does and I continue to have pure success.
