Surgery on 23rd home on 25th!

I had my surgery on Friday the 23rd and was able to leave the hospital on Sunday the 25th. I am really feeling suprisingly well. A couple of the cuts are kinda pulling but I think that is the tape that is left on but those can come off tomorrow so I think that will feel better. It feels like I am drinking hardly any water...yesterday I drank a 16oz bottle for the whole day with using my 1oz cup/per 15 minutes guide. That is a full time job in itself. I got about 30g of protein in yesterday and already today I have 20g in. I also did a 1/2 mile on the treadmill today at the speed of 2.5 not bad compared to what I did before. I will keep everyone up to date on the different changes that will be going on.

Wow - you have done really well! It seems hard for some folks at first to get their water in but it does get easier over time. Just takes a little bit of healing and you'll be drinking it down like a pro! As for the exercise, follow doc's orders for you. Just seems a bit soon to be pushing it physically. You are still healing up. But if your doc gave the green light, go for it. Dina

Dina, Love the new picture of you. You're gorgeous!!!! Joy

Joy - you are just way too sweet! Thank you so much. You know, I was thinking the same thing about your new picture...you look fabulous, my dear! I love that we can change the pics more often on our own. Especially when you are in the active weightloss phase....things change so quickly. Anyway, I have looked at your pics on your profile before and kept intending on writing you but get too lazy. You've done so well in such a short period of time. You just look wonderful!!! Dina

Good for you, Michelle! Keep up the good work! Joy

I've been wondering about you--haven't seen you post in awhile. Even searched your name a few times--anyways glad to hear the positive update. I'm soooooooooo for you. It seems like you pulled through surgery like a pro. I'll be looking forward to your updates. Can't wait til I get my surgery.

You are on your way! My kids were reminding me just today about how the van was so littered with water bottles that first year. I kept a case in the house, car, garage, everywhere! It made it easier for me to just reach out and sip. My frugal mother-in-law seemed to disapprove of being so wasteful buying all tha****er, but as the pounds were flying off...I DIDN'T CARE!! Give yourself time to heal (both inside and out) and get yourself plenty of rest. Glad you are doing so well. Patty
