A-M-A-Z-I-N-G !!!

Hi all! Well, yesterday I was 1 week post op. I am doing VERY well. The gas pains are almost gone. I have no other pain and have not needed to take any pain medication. It is truly AMAZING how much better I feel each day!!! I am amazed by how fast the body recovers. I was feeling so good I emailed my surgeon to ask when I could drive and he said "now" - I got dressed and took my oldest daughter to dance. Only 1 person there knew I had the surgery and she could not believe that only a week ago - I had my surgery / Lap RNY. I weighed myself yestertday and I am proud to report a 11.3 pound weight loss. I am doing good getting my protien / vitamins / supplements / water in. thanks for all your suport! hugs, Britt

WOW BRITT your doing absolutely amazing! KEEP up the great work and im glad your feeling so well so fast! HOPE your gonna make the gathering in early december!!!!! YOU think you might be up to going in to the city to meet us OH PEOPLE??? congratulations on that frist 11 pounds gone!

Hi Lisa, We have a wedding that Saturday - upstate. I am still debating if we are going to attend our not .... because I will still be on a mushy diet and more importantly BECAUSE my mom is hear with me for a month to help out ... I can't see leaving her with all three kids alone. I'd feel like I am taking advantage. I am so thankful that she is here to help OUT ... I wouldn't have been able to get the surgery without her help NOW. hugs, Britt

Britt, Hun I am so glad you are doing so good. Did you get the drains out yet? I know I felt so much better after that. Congrats on your weight loss as well... You are on your way to the NEW YOU! Awesome! Debra P

Hi Deb, This Thusday my drains come out! I cannot wait ... though I hear from everyone "take a deep breath" I'll let you know .. how it goes. Britt

Britt, Yes breathing was the key, Donna told me to make sure I took a big deep breath before and to keep breathing when she pulls it out, wow that is hard to do because it feels so strange but the breathing REALLY helped! I had no pain just that weid feeling but once it is out you feel SOOO much better WOW. Keep me posted hun. Debra P

Yahoo Britt! I'm so glad to hear how well you're doing. The healing body is an amazing thing. Yahoo too on your 11.3 pound weight loss. Don't it feel grand? Are you eating regular foods or liquids or mushies? While I'm thrilled to hear you're doing well, don't forget, you just had major surgery. Take care of yourself. Rest often. Keep doin' good by your healing body. Hugs, Amy
