My surgery was on April 20th 2004, at my first doctors visit on the morning of April 29th I had lost 12 pounds but the entire week before I hardly walked and got very few ounces of liquid in... well since that appointment I have been walking every day and drinking all my fluids and getting most of my protien in and have no Idea how much I weight and wont till the 20th of this month..WELLLLLL My tape measure dropped off a shelf onto my desk so I decided what the hell lets measure and see if anythings going on probably not cause its only been 12 days..but what the hell... ANd most of you knwo I have ahd the worst luck the last couple weeks....Needed some good new...
