WELL IT IS DONE~

And I couldn't be happier- Surgery June 8th - WHOOP WHOOP - Made it thru the 10 days of liquid diet with no issues (except the first 2 days I was so wanting to eat especially when I woke up in my hotel room to the smells of BACON!!)

Surgery went well - so I thought I would post for anyone else gettign prepared to view my journeyis only iof they want -

SURGERY- Day 1 - SLEEP SLEEP Hubby just kept feeding me my Pain med's- walked a teeny tad around the house

Day 2- Off and on sleeping - I checked emails from work (due to fuzzy head was very cautious in replying took pain med late afternoon and at bed time- No real gas issues or pain except when I tried to turn or bend etc.. Walked throughtout the house and deck several times

Day 3- feeling good - went to Walmart with hubby to walk around for awhile and get out of the house (I have a tendency to get restless) came home and did feel very tired - took nap - feeling good overall pain minor like I said when turning - bending etc NO PAIN MEDS AT ALL!

Day 4 - WOKE UP FEELING GREAT! Some soreness but amazingly little - Sat outside with my feet in the pool drove myself crazy because I wanted to swim so nicked that idea and went back int he house - overall had a great day!

Day 5- WOW I FEEL GREAT! Used my stationary bike for 30 minutes!!!!! BUT WAIT sometime around 2 the GAS PAIN STARTED OUCH worse pain i ever felt took my breath away WOAH~~ However it only lasted about an hour - heating pad /tylenol/Hot tea and Biofreeze and ALL GONE~ No more than a few nagging aches the rest of the day

Day 6- Can you say hip hip horray I feel so darned good it is scary~ Rode the bike again - was able to start on "sliders" so at least had some "tastes" in my drinks

Day 7 just a reapeat of 6 but even better!!!

I am so glad I have done this I have not weighed myself and its a struggle not too ~~ But I see my Doc tomorrow and will see how much weight I may have lost since Surgery day! And I hpe he tells me I can SWIM~ I love the pool and doing my excercises in the pool is much better than sweatign it on a bike or eliptical machine - save those for on the road and winter days

So that is all for now But its been wonderful so far and am hoping it continues this well~
