Timey

I am also the 7th of 8 girls, and they all have been so supportive of me. I wouldn't trade them for the world, BUT I no what you are saying...LOL!!! Its are times when we need to separate the good from the bad....

I had my surgery on the March 21st also. I too had an hiatal hernia and had it repaired along with my surgery. Each day I am progressing, but still sleeps on my right side as I heal. I am now 10 lbs. down, and I am still on clear liquids. I went back to work on Tuesday, wish I would have stayed out longer, but the job is not straineous(overlook the spelling), I felt better so I returned to work. I am beginning to get hungery more and more each day, so now I am slowly moving into my solid liquids. I think I can give myself a pat on the back for deciding to do something for me. I too love life, more than knowing that I was killing myself eating just because it's there. This road my be hard, but I will be will be able to rejoice in the end. I can't wait to see my ends result. Good luck on your journey, we can do it!!

I was just like you, always putting others first. My kids have grown into young men and they are hardly around me anymore. So when reality hit me that I need to do something for myself I did. I got to work on me, and put other things aside. This is my life and I am glad I decided to get banded. I was banded on yesterday, have some gas, nothing I can't handle. I think I will be happy with the end results.
