Lol... You're moving right along... Congrats... 1 down 3 more to go... And although it may seem as if time is at a stand still... Look back on what you've done so far... You're losing weight and only have 3 more classes to go... That's a lot itself...

Congrats to you !!! And Good luck with everything :D

I've been home for a little over 24 hours now. I freaked out when I realized

  1. I gained 15 pounds in the hospital on the clear post op diet
  2. my feel and ankles look like those of an elephant.

Then I remembered what Tony said, "As long as you sip and pee all day long, you're doing fine". Ok really, my son remembered. I called Tony at LCMH and he said this is normal because I was being pumped full of fluids and will eventually urinate out all the excess fluids and swelling.
