You do look awesome! You have been very inspiring. Thank you for sharing this part of your journey.

It's been two weeks now and things are going really well! I am still having a little pain on my sides where the drains were. My arms feel great which is funny because that's what I thought was going to hurt. Right now they are measuring 13.25". Not sure if that will go down any more but if it doesn't I am so thrilled with it! I will be going to a bariatric reunion on Thursday that is put on by one of my local hospitals. I will be wearing something sleeveless and for the first time will not be embarrassed to do so. I'll take a couple pictures and post them at the end of the week to show where I am at.

Day 7 - is kicking my butt! Pain from swelling is pretty bad. Off all the strong narcotics and only taking
Tylenol and Advil. Maybe that's why, but I need to drive this week and had to get off them.
Second hardest part of all this is not being able to do the things I used to do with my son. He is 2.5 and it's breaking my heart that still after a week I'm so limited on what I can do for him.
Ruff day!
I see my surgeon tomorrow and they have order me another compression garment. Hopefully tomorrow is better.
