Hi guys, I am back online. :)

I did pretty well with the surgery, still sore and sleepy though. I am having a harder time recovering from the anesthesia than from the incisions. Anesthesia doesn't mix well with me. I had some gas pains Friday night and had to sleep sitting up, but they went away pretty quickly and I was in bed last night. Biggest gripe is this awful sinus headache...if I could just shake that I would be golden.

Glad its over!!

Well I did it!!!

I was the first patient of the morning, and my husband was told 25min later that my surgery went great. They released me from the hospital 3 and 1/2 hrs. after my surgery in a anesthetic stupor. I slept the rest of the day and flew home at 2pm the next day.

I felt good except for some pain at my incision sites, and some pain trying to sit up or lie down,and laughing was painful (my husband is really funny which didn't help) but other then that its not as bad as I thought it was goimg to be.

I hope everyones surgery went great and you all have a speedy recovery!!!! :)

Hello All!

Well, we ALL did it! Our day has come and gone! Feeling so much BETTER today....yesterday I was in BAD shape! Had alot of pain, gas! I know each day will get better...can't wait for the swelling to go down, looks like I'm about 8 months

pregnant:scared2:....I'm so happy its finally over! Now to get through two more weeks of liquids! Amazingly, I'm doing really well with that! Not hungry at all but making sure I'm drinking my Protein shakes!

We are ALL on our way to healthier, slimmer lives! Congrats to everyone banded on the 20th! I hope your all recovering well! Thanks to all who sent blessings our way!

How is everyone doing? Are you as sick of liquids as me? I had to leave the family and come on the computer....my hubby just bought Kentucky Fried Chicken for him and my kids....I couldn't sit there and watch them eat it! The smell alone was killing me. I want regular food so bad....and I have a week left of liquids....Lord, help me get through this week! Anyone else wanting some FOOD???

I just got back from spending 3 days with the whole fam for Thanksgiving holiday. I didn't cheat at all, but the food smells did get to me from time to time. Last night they went and got Wendy's...normally something I can pass on...but it made me very hungry smelling it all. Especially the hamburgers.
