Tomorrow is the big day!

Today is the big day!

I'm now on soft foods!

Finally awake enough to update. Surgery went well from what I was told. Was groggy for hours.

I feel guilty because I haven't been here in quite awhile.

I got a surgery date! July 8th!

I'm home from the hospital. I actually came home yesterday. The operation, according to the surgeon, was "textbook" and total time, including hiatal hernia repair, was about an hour. However, I was in the OR for about four hours because after they closed me up they were missing a needle and they had to look for it. They x-ray'd me and did something else and they didn't see the needle in me. I was later told that they'd found the needle on an equipment tray in the back...

I weighed myself today and I'm down 14 lbs.

I'm anxious about seeing the nutritionist on Tuesday

I feel guilty for only walking half a mile today.
