      I am looking forward to my surgeon appt to find out how much I've lost. Also hoping to find out what I can do about this pain that's reoccurring and not going away with the oxycodone he prescribed. Fiance is enjoying that he can keep telling work he needs to be home to help me, meanwhile, I'm doing a lot of the stuff around here I shouldn't be for a few weeks. It's just frustrating

      Thanks everyone! I'm a little sore, but nothing pain meds cant help lol. Heating pad feels wonderful on my back, and I've been sticking to my nursing rocking chair today because it gives me the angle I need off my stomach. All in all not to bad so far. liquids every 15-20 minutes and vitamins did me wonders today.
