it's official

I found out yesterday that I'm approved!!  Only 9 years of trying to make up my mind about doing this...I was offered a date of 4/23 and I told my boss today, so I guess it's official!  Unbelievable. 

CONGRATULATION!!! 

Congratulations!!

Congrats to you!!! It'll be here before you know it!!

WhoooOOOt!! 

That is so great. Congratualtion to you!!

CONGRATULATIONS!

Congratulations!!!!  Woo Hoo!  Don't forget to let me know how things are going.  I hated the wait!  But, I have such a short patience level!  :)

I am impatient also...but right now my NERVES are getting the best of me. I'm so glad to see you posting! I have been wondering how you're doing. How are you feeling??

I actually feel really good.  Stomach is sore. It is different feeling than eating at the beginning of the band.  I think I could tell the differnce more with the band. 

The worse part was the first day, where I was so dizzy and had nasua from the anestesha.  But, everyone was so great and tried their best to keep me from puking, etc.

I was up walking in about 3-4 hours after surgery.  In hospital until Saturday afternoon.  The besides the soreness, when the nurse removed the drain OMG that hurt.

So far so good.  My stage 1 diet is fairly liberal: 3 protein shakes a day, cottage cheese (yuk), mashed potatoes (having today for Easter dinner), SF popsicles, yogurt, broth.  I can handle this kind of stuff for 2 weeks.  Haven't weighed and won't do so until at least Saturday or the folllwoing saturday.  I am more looking for a "size" than a scale weight.

Who is doing your surgery, again?

TTYL,
