Hi guys, figured I would update y'all on me....

First of all, my pain is much better.... I still hurt a little most days. I had a checkup with Dr. K on Friday, and he said I'm doing well.  He even ok'ed me for regular foods, which is kind of amazing to me, but I'm taking it easy....and I've got Zofran for when I get nauseated, so that helps.

Also, I am exhausted.....I never realized how hard surgery like this is on your body....some days I just want to sleep all day!  But that's usually after I've done a little too much. 
The best part is.....I'm down 32 pounds!!! 

Well, that's it in a nutshell...hope you guys are doing well, and good luck to those of you with upcoming surgery dates!

Glad to have an update, Lisa.  Sounds like rest is what is needed and you are listening to your body.  Some people do not listen and then end up in big time trouble.

Congratulations for the 32 pound loss !  Awesome !

Lisa, You are doing GREAT!  32 lbs. Fantastic.  Dr. K know's best, so follow what he says. Will you be going to the Suppot Meeting next Tuesday?

I am so glad to read your update, Lisa.    Hopefully your pain will subside and your strength will return before your 2 month surgiversary.  Do tell me, how does it feel to be down 32 pounds in one month?  I mean, truly, how does it FEEL?  I am just trying to wrap my mind around this...hoping so much that I am in your shoes one day soon!    Take it easy!
