    YAY!!! I'M SOO HAPPY

    By joegar84,

    GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD MORNING TO ALL MY FELLOW BANDSTER BROTHERS AND SISTERS.
    Well I been up since 3am this morning and couldn't sleep... odd.. Sooo I stayed in bed all nice warm and around 4ish am had to run to the bathroom. I totally forgot I left my scale out last night and tripped over it.... so I ran a storm of my favorite profanity words... hahaha so after 3 minutes of profanity I said oh well I might as well see what it says today so I stepped on it and it said E WTF! I dont weight E hahaha well dum dum wasn't stepping on it right so I reset it and tried again and to my surprise it said 333lbs
    WOW!!!!!
    When I started going to my Dr I started at 368
    after 2 week pre-op diet and a few hours after my surgery they weight me in at the hospital at 341 that was Dec 18 at 4am or so.
    and today Dec 23 also around 4ish am I am at 333lbs
    WOOOOHOOOOOO
    all in all thats ummm **doing math** 37lbs since I started my pre-op diet on Dec 2nd

    Home sweet home

    By joegar84,

    Home sweet home after 24hrs of my surgery. It took us almost 4 hrs to get home cause of the damn traffic (GOTTA LOVE LOS ANGELES WET TRAFFIC). But man it feels good to get home. Honestly right now I'm in a little pain but it's like a 3 out of 10 so that's good I guess. Getting hiccups isn't fun though. Did anyone get a binder to wrap their stomach? I have one and it's a little tight bit it feels good to have on. If u had did how often did you wear it? Till when?

    Well I can't really sleep so that's why I am here posting how I feel. I would like to know how you guys and girls felt right after....
    Thanks

    Well here I am at Marina Del Rey Hospital waiting to get admitted in to the hospital it took us nearly 2 hrs to get here cause of traffic (Gotta love Los Angeles traffic). Well I can say I'm still not scared hahaha crazy huh.... But I do feel a little down... I have no idea why. I know it's for the best doing this. I am a little hungry though but not starving. I been up since 8am today I kind of cleaned up my room so when I get back it won't be a mess like it usually is... Hahaha yes I'll admit that I don't keep my room organized. **sighs**
    well it's now a waiting game

    Tuesday Morning....

    By joegar84,

    Good morning fellow bandsters... How is everyone doing??
     
    Well its tuesday and it's been what 4 days since my surgery.... and I can honestly say that this is the first time that i'm saying.. i'm getting a little hungry now... hahahaha and liquids are not filling hahahaha
    Hmmmmm how fun.
    Well yesterday was the first night that I slept in my bed.... hahaha it was a little uncomfortable but it sure as hell beats sleeping on the recliner hahaha..
    I wish I could go out and walk but it hasnt stopped raining since friday... and for anyone of you guys that live in SoCal.. you know this isnt SoCal at all.. but it sure as hell beats our normal California Christmas.
    75-85degree christmas wearing shorts and tank tops
     
    I think this year we are gonna be wearing pants and a light sweatshirt hahaha
     
    But yeah I wish I could go out and walk but the rain needs to stop and its supposed to get worst later on today.
     
    Oh well I guess I have to keep walking in the house.
     
    Hope everyone is doing good.
