I cant believe how good I feel....

I just wanted to let everyone know that I am doing great. I went for three short walks today plus did a couple loads of laundry. I am getting my fluids in okay. So far I haven't been hungry, I hope it stays that way for a while. My appointment with Dr. Richardson is next Friday the 24th. I was hoping to get the staples and port out sooner but I guess it won't hurt to wait a few more days. I hope everyone had a good day today and I will talk to you soon. Thanks again to everyone who signed my surgery support page. Rita

Hey Rita, glad to hear that you're doing great.. Glad you got to move around today.. I imagine it felt good.. Let us know how your appointment goes.. Take care of yourself, hon.. *big hugs* -Shannon

Wow you are feeling great. I bet it feels good to get back to normal things. I am sure you wont have to much of a problem with the staples. I get hungry on and off but when I eat it fills me up pretty good so that is satisfying. I wish you continued success. Shannon

You are truly an inspiration and joy!!! Good for you!!!!!! WOW! So happy for you and thanks for sharing as I embark on my new journey the 22nd........so close and all so fast! I couldn't even imagine being as good as you are talking about, so I will keep that in mind and think positive and active! Great to hear!!! WOW!!! Thoughts and Prayers, Michelle

Good for you... staying busy and active must be a huge bonus... good luck...

Good morning!!! I had my surgery on 09/02/04, came home 09/03/04 and went to camp on 09/05/04. Have not had a problem either. I go to the fat doctor today and I think I have lost approximately 25 lb. in 3 weeks (lost about 5 lb. before surgery). I have been lifting weights and walking, walking, walking!!! Keep up the good work and congrats!!!! J.
