First post-op appt.

I saw Dr. Hart last Thursday, and I've lost 17 pounds from my "official" pre-op weight. I am very pleased! I am doing very well, and I'm extremely grateful for that. The only complication I've had is a few water blisters that formed under the steri-strips. I guess I was allergic to the adhesive or something. It's certainly something I can handle, and they're mostly gone now. I live a hilly neighborhood, so I had been walking "laps" between my mailbox and a nearby neighbor's mailbox that were in a flat area. Saturday, I decided to challenge myself. I grabbed my current book on CD, a bottle of water and headed out around the block (1 mile with 2 hills). I MADE IT! I was so proud of myself. I did it again yesterday and plan on heading out to do it today as well. For some reason I don't understand, I tend to fly under the radar here on our message board, but I will update my profile later for those who are interested.

Congratulations on your accomplishments thus far. It is wonderful to hear. Hugs and prayers, Theresa
