Thank you all for the well wishes and prayers. I'm not at 100% yet...but I'm trying to get there. Still struggling with the swelling I have everywhere. I think I was on IV fluids waaaaayyyyyy too long. My legs are sure getting a workout with my walks to the bathroom. I'm not a person that likes pain meds at all...but I find myself thanking the Doc for making me get them..

I'm actually sooooo much better. The scale even likes me. It says I'm down 33 lbs. I still burn where they took my gall bladder out. I'm bruised where they took my stomach out but it doesn't hurt. I'm attempting a sponge shower today so I can start feeling even more like a human.

I'm soooo glad to hear you are feeling better! Did they take your gallbladder out at the same time? Did you know they were going to do that? Wow on the weight loss that's awesome! Keep feeling good!

I knew they were taking gallbladder out. Unfortunately there were complications because it was 3x the size and my liver is twice normal size. So now with things out and moved around...it feels kinda funky. Thank you for all the thoughts and cheers. Everyone gets their own surgery story. I pray for all of you that yours is uneventful.

I did take a shower and feel human. I'm sure I will want to put makeup on eventually. I'm not tired much...just taking it easy.
