I'm doing well thank you!

Today is one week since my surgery! It has been a long week but each day is getting better! I ended up having a hernia so my surgeon had to remove it as well. I got a 2 in 1 deal! Lol I was only nauseous once but the nurse gave me meds & I didn't have to experience the painful vomiting! I was released the next day & have been home recovering since. I was pretty sore...more sore than I thought but my doctor said it was because of the hernia & was quite surprised I hadn't complained or noticed I had it. I also was very weak. A shower took all my energy. I started trying to get more water & more of my protein shakes in me to help with the energy. I hate feeling like I'm fixing to pass out. I saw that someone has already walked a mile! WOW! I haven't tried but I think I will as soon as the rain stops! Oh & hair loss...I was told by friends who have had the surgery that I'd lose a lot of hair & I'm crossing my fingers because that hasn't happened yet. I'm hoping it won't be bad when/if it happens. I'm taking biotin & am hoping it will help. I'm glad to see everyone is doing well & will be thinking of you all along our new life journey!

Good luck to everyone today! I was originally a 23rd sleever but will now be having my surgery on the 24th. I will be thinking & praying for you all!

I got the call today that mine was rescheduled for Sept 24th. I know it's only one day but I am so ready to be done & start my new life!

The diet definitely is no fun! I am starting to get things ready for my husband before the surgery. We have 5 kids so some of the stuff I'll have to wait & do last minute.

My surgery is scheduled for Sept 23rd & I'm starting to get nervous! I'm worried about everything...from my daily life changing to what I'm going to look like afterwards & everything in between!
