Topic: Woooohoooooo I'm drain free!!!
Went to the doctors yesterday. One of my legs was more swollen then the other so he sent me to get an ultra sound on my legs. It came back negative thank God!!! I'm just deep into swell hell. He did remove the remaining 3 drains. It felt so nice taking a shower without them this morning. He said he usually doesn't like to remove them all but since they were each only putting out 2.5 cc's a day he felt he could remove them without any problems. I was so relieved I can tell you. I am still very swollen. That's to be expected as I am only 2 weeks out. I am just impatient to see what the end result will be...lol. I know I know it could be months to a year till that happens. It just owuld be so nice to be able to fit back into my jeans...lol. I'll have updated pics without the drains this weekend. Other then the swelling I'm doing really well. Oh I did have a stitch trying to work it's way out and Dr. K took care of that too.

Thanks Holly, I am very thankful to have been referred to Dr. Krieger. He is awesome. I can't wait to see what the whole package looks like when all the swelling and bruising goes away.

Holly, that is when I have the toughest time. I can do so good all day and then at night it all flies out the window. I too am going to go back to protein shakes starting tomorrow to see if I can get rid of some of this swelling. It's really bad now that I've gone back to work. I'm only working 4 hours but I just get so swollen.

I hear you Suz, I feel the same way. We recently had a BBQ with one of the VA board groups and she asked for before pics. Oh my gosh even with half my weight off

You know- now that I look back- I think I should have stopped a little higher. I have no butt or boobs and I'm pretty bony. I have zero curves and that's sad. I'm trying very hard to build muscle so that I look better. Now when I put on weight it goes straight to my stomach.
I think I just got a little carried away with scale and not with what looks best on my body.

Happy Belated birthday Steph!!!
That stinks about the water pills- they say lemon water is a natural diuretic- but I'm sure it won't compare to what you were taking...
