I'm here

Hello everyone Sorry for not posting sooner.... Well surgery was on Jan 31st, and I was home on Feb 2nd after a couple of days I had alot of energy...... I went to the Doc's office on Feb 10th and had some staples and the drain removed..... and I lost 49lbs in the 10 days my mouth feel open and if I was short it would have hit the floor so I graduated to full liquids....yummy I returned to the doc's yesterday on Feb 17th and meet Maria De and it was wonderful I am so happy to have meet her I started to cry.....she was there with her mom who is so supportive...... Well the rest of the staples were removed and I should start walking more.....bad news.... I gained 2 lbs....The doc's says it's because of my cycle but I don't buy that.....I know everyone goes through this ( thinking this is not going to work for me and I'm a failure) but I'm hanging in there and just keep moving forward... I get all my water in 60 oz and all my protiens in too.....not having and trouble keeping anything down so far so good..... It was a challenge not to eat since I had to cook for the little ones.... but I did it.....it is getting easier to deal with the food choices each day....just taking it one day at a time...... All in all I am doing good and thank you all for the e-mails and sorry for not getting back to you....so now you have my update.... Also I am going back to work on Monday (3 weeks)..... So how are you doing... Christine
