First DR Visit Since Surgery
Ok, so yesterday I went to the doctor. All went well. Lost 6 pounds since surgery, 19 in all. YEAH!!!! Not sure where I want to be weight wise but just want to be healthier. Pain is going away slowly and comes and goes but is one million percent more tolerable. Feeling a bit as if something is stuck in my throat, does anyone know what this feeling is?

Another day another pain
Ok so yesterday got really bad with gas pains in my neck/back. I was not trying to take any pain meds but had to resort to taking them. After that, the pain went away somewhat. Today, pain in minimal. Thank goodness!! Today is my first follow up with my Doctor. :confused:

A day to go
Well, its been a hard few weeks. I have been away on business and drinking shakes, yuck! Tomorrow is the BIG day, surgery at 2:30. So excited and scared at the same time. Looking forward to that bikini when the time is right. My family is behind me, however, my mom is scared for "surgery". Explained that this was a way to prevent future medical issues. Kids are worried but they don't say anything, I can just see it in thier faces. Husband has been great so far!! I could not have asked for a better family!! Co-Workers are so supportive. I have a great team in place for great results. Hugs all !!:thumbup:

Day 5
Today is not so bad with hunger thoughts. I have found that I need to stay busy or I think about what I could be eating. I have also found that when I am alone I want to eat. I guess this blog is helping me realize where I go wrong with regard to food. Tomorrow is another day!!!:cool2:

Day Two
:cool:Today has been a little bit easier. When I say a little bit easier, I mean just that. Its hard not to eat when you have two children and a husband to feed at night. I think I can, I think I can!!
