I had a lumbar microdiscectomy on Wednesday morning.  The surgery went well and it looks like there is no nerve damage, which is a good thing!

I've been lurking the last few days but wanted to give an update. 

I start all my psych and nutritional meetings this next week and see Dr. G on 6/8.  I'm excited!

Have a great weekend, ya'll!

Thank you all for the wonderful well wishes!  I'm moving a bit more each day, which is good, and I have no leg pain, which is incrediable!! My back is still stiff but I think it will be that way for another week; you can't move all those muscles around and the muscles not give you some fuss about it! ~smile~

I've been way under on my calories for the past few days and I can see a difference in my clothing.  I'm not hungry and that's a good thing.  I've been sticking to my 'diet' and hopefully will have some good number to show the NUT and Dr. G.

I hope everyone is doing well and I'll keep lurking until I can come back to posting and bugging you all full time!

Have a great week!
