9 Days Post-Op!!! =)

Congratulations..Heather..I am 5 days out and also find it hard to get all the water in..Although I think I am doing well...Can't wait to get my staples out they are a lil annoying and I only have slight pain...I have however lost 16 lbs this far from my surgery day of 12/8/08...That is exciting...I am kind of having a down in the dumps moment right now, since I am home alone and just feel like such a slacker for not having a friend to keep me company...My husband is at a company party and my sons went with their aunt...Normally it doesnt bother me, but I think just having the surgery and being a lil off but I feel great other then a lil sad...Sorry for rambling, I do that sometimes...

Congratulations and would love to keep in contact and see how we progress together..

Hiya!
Wow, 16 pounds--congrats! That is awesome. I had my surgery on the 1st and I am down 22 so far. It is so exciting! I'm sorry you are feeling down--it must be very different if you are used to having your hubby and your kids! I don't have kids(yet)  but my husband and I are pretty stuck at the hip, so I hate when he is gone!  Well, keep up the good work! I have to be better about drinking andf walking--I do well walking when I am shopping with my mom or husband--like today. But, on a regular day, I need to get up and walk up and down my path at least. Some people tell me they do a mile after only a few days, but I guess I will do what I can--I figure moving in general is better than sitting on my butt, hehe  Well, good luck and let's talk soon!
Hope your hubby gets home soon and makes you feel better.. =)
Hugs,

Heather,
Glad to hear you are doing so well...Keep up the good work!
